Yarn Bases

Merino Sport (dyed to order)

Merino Sport is a bouncy round 4 plied yarn of extrafine 19.5 micron merino. Superwash. With a silky feel, you'll love this for all your 5ply garment and accessory knits.
  • Approximately 300m/328y per 100g skein
  • Machine washable 19.5 micron Merino Wool

Suggested needle size & tension:

3-5mm

24 stitches x 34 rows per 10cm on 3.75mm needles

Though this is gentle machine washable I recommend a gentle hand wash in cool water to preserve your precious projects.

 

Misty Mohair

  • Approximately 420m/459y per 50g skein
  • Non Superwash - gentle handwash only

Suggested needle size & tension:

 3-4mm

 32sts x 40 rows per 10cm

 

Plush DK
Plush DK is the 8ply weight version of Plush Fingering - same EXTRA soft merino and nylon for strength! I love it for sweaters (wet block your swatch) but it's just as great for socks! Perfect for baby knits too.

Plush Fingering
Plush Fingering is my premium Superwash Merino/Nylon blend. It is incredibly soft for next to skin garments but also useful for knitting where durability is needed like with socks and gloves. If you're a single skein collector, this is the base for you! It can do it all. It's a stash superhero!

Silky Suri
Laceweight 75% Brushed Baby Suri Alpaca & 25% Mulberry Silk.
Silky Suri is an unbelievably soft alternative to mohair. While it is a little heavier with 300m per 50g, it substitutes well for mohair even when held together with another yarn.
I knit my first Love Note sweater with Suri and it is phenomenally soft and cosy - so much so my kids give me extra hugs!
Silky Suri can be knit at a wide range of gauges making it really versatile. I like to sub it in to shawls instead of fingering weight in sections where fluffiness won't obscure a stitch pattern.
  • Approximately 300m/328y per 50g skein
  • Non Superwash - gentle handwash only
Suggested needle size & tension:
 3-6mm
18-25 sts over 10cm/4 inches
