Yarn Bases

All of our yarns are ethically sourced from farms that do not practice mulesing, a cruel and painful procedure often associated with sheep farming. 

We offer the following yarn bases. Some of our products do not offer certain yarn bases. Make sure to select the yarn base of your choice when purchasing an item.

Fingering-weight yarns

  • Dogwood Sock

    Soft enough for babies and durable enough for socks this yarn can be used for any fingering weight project. The nylon content and the high twist mean it will stand up to intense wear without pilling, even on your feet! 

    • 80% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon 
    • Fingering weight
    • High Twist 2 ply

  • Fairy Sock

    All the qualities of 80/20 SOCK but with a little added magic. The stellina content is 5% so the sparkle is subtle.

    • 400m per 100g skein

  • Angel  (alpaca silk cashmere 4-ply)

    The delectable combination of fibres in this base create a yarn that is incredibly soft and that drapes beautifully. This base takes the dyes we use differently and so our colorways will be slightly more subtle on it.

    • Fingering Weight
    • 400m per 100g

  • Popcorn
