non-superwash
Pure Merino
Our merino yarn is 100% organic and a fine 20.5 micron count. This means a beautifully bouncy, squishy yarn that has all the warmth and softness that merino wool is famous for. This non-superwash yarn will hold its shape, even after blocking. The 3 or 4 ply construction is a nicely balanced yarn that creates smooth round stitches in stockinette and is great for cables and stitch definition. Perfect for sweaters, shawls, hats, blankets etc.

BFL Sock
Our BFL is wool from the British Blue Faced Leicester sheep, known for its longer staple, curly wool. The longer staple length of the wool means it retains strength, and is durable with less pilling. The tight curls of the wool means great memory and will hold it’s shape compared to merino wool. Longer staple wool also has a slight sheen to it, although not quite as next-to-skin soft as merino. This is a great alternative sock yarn to a merino/nylon blend. Superwash means you can throw it in the washing machine without fear of felting and hang or lay flat to dry (although I always recommend hand-washing even for Superwash yarns)

Glitter
Who doesn't need a little glitter in our yarn? Glitter is a bouncy superwash Merino / nylon blend - and features Gold Stellina to give it that subtle sparkle. Offered in 2 weights/construction options:
Fingering weight is a 2-ply construction - perfect for lace where you want the yarn to naturally open up to show off the lacework. Great drape for shawls.
DK weight is a round 4-ply construction for smooth stockinette fabric.
Both weights have the touch of gold sparkle for that extra glitter!

Suri Fluff
Suri Alpaca is a great alternative to mohair - it has the fluffy halo, a bit of shine due to the silk core, and all the warmth of the suri alpaca. This lace weight suri has a generous 459 yds in 50g, and pairs well if you hold it together with a fingering weight yarn. Some people find suri alpaca a tad less prickly compared to mohair.

Cotton Wool
This yarn is perfect for warmer weather knitting! It is a blend of 50% Pima Cotton, and 50% fine 21.5 micron superwash Merino Wool. The cotton is great for warmer climates, while the wool gives it enough elasticity so it is still comfortable to knit with. Your knitted fabric will have great drape, and the 4 ply construction will show texture nicely. The cotton in the yarn doesn’t absorb acid dyes, so there is a slightly heathered effect when hand-dyed.

Silky
This silky yarn is an ultra luxurious blend of 70% baby alpaca, 20% silk and 10% cashmere - so it is smooth, soft and has a gorgeous sheen. There is also a bit of halo and has a very drapey hand. This yarn is slippery due to the silk and alpaca, so don’t forget to leave long ends to weave in! This is a non-superwash yarn, so I recommend hand-wash, lay flat to dry.

Velvet Merino
Velvet Merino is a unique 100% US Mercerized Merino. Mercerization improves the hand and sheen of the wool, increasing its luster, softness and strength. The process is similar to superwash, in which the scales are removed, then a thin layer of micro-silicone is applied. This helps the fibers remain smooth, so people who find even the finest merino a bit prickly might give this a try!
An additional benefit is it enables our mill to offer a 100% US merino - sheep from ranches in the US Rocky Mountains, and wool milled and processed in South Carolina. This makes the US sourced 20-21 micron merino feel cashmere soft as a 18 micron count merino. This is yarn bouncy, squishy and unbelievably soft to the skin - with the benefit of easy care of a superwash.

Merino Cashmere Silk
This luxurious blend adds a touch of silk and cashmere to an extra fine superwash merino, resulting in a beautifully soft yarn with a slight sheen. This blend is so soft against the skin and would be amazing for garments or shawls. The silk would provide some strength and could be considered an alternative to nylon for a luxe pair of socks!

Yak Silk Fingering
You have to touch this yarn to understand the beauty of blending yak, silk and an extra-fine merino. The yak and silk add gorgeous drape and sheen, and the 19.5 micron merino is so soft to the skin. The yarn absorbs colors with a slightly more muted watercolor effect. This blend is so soft against the skin and would be amazing for garments or shawls, accessories, or even luxe socks! The round 4-ply construction makes for a smooth fabric. Yak comes in either white or gray, and depending on the colorway, the base will vary - with the gray adding a darker, moodier undertone, while the white allows clearer, brighter colors.

Corrie Woolen
Corrie Woolen is a beautiful rustic 100% non-superwash Corriedale wool in a woolen-spun construction. South American Corriedale wool is known for its long, strong staple-length and beautiful crimp. The wool is 25 micron and has a lovely rustic hand with a slight matte finish. The woolen-spun construction means the wool is lofty, and the air trapped in the yarn will ensure a lightweight but warm fabric. This yarn is non-superwash, and is left untreated, so it retains all its natural characteristics. This yarn is wonderful for sweaters with color work or cables - perfect for any garment that you want to keep its shape and not drape too much.
The colors in this collection are tonal in nature, but will have variation from skein to skein. Alternating skeins is high recommended, even if the yarn is all from the same dye-lot. Any sweater quantity orders (ie 3 skeins and up) will always be from the same dye-lot.
The yardage for the 100g DK/Worsted skein is 328yds (300m), but due to its lofty nature knits up closer to a heavy DK or even a worsted weight. The fabric will bloom beautifully after blocking. Recommended gauge is 18sts x 28 rows in 4" on a US 6-8 (4-5mm) needle, although it can be knit up with a variety of needle sizes depending on the desired final fabric.
