SIMPLE SINGLES

100% Superwash Merino 

Single Ply

366m per 100g

Single Ply yarns have an almost hand-spun look to them which will add a subtle rustic appearance to your garments.

SILKY SINGLES

70% Superwash Merino 30% Silk 

Single ply 

400m per 100g 

This yarn combines the qualities of silk and single-ply yarn to perfection.  Single- ply has a delicately rustic appearance that calls to mind hand spun yarn. Combined with the sheen that the silk content gives, you are met with a yarn that is both sophisticated and slightly bohemian. 

This yarn is best saved for projects such as shawls and sweater as it will not stand up to vigorous wear on items such as socks and gloves. 

 

CLOUD 

69% Silk 22%Mohair 9%Polyamide

Fingering Weight

350m per 100g.

 2 Ply 

This is our most luxury base which is made of mainly silk fibre with the addition of mohair for a wonderful halo and some polyamide for strength. It looks wavy in yarn form but knits up smooth. 

The sheen from the silk combined with the halo from the mohair make for the most luxurious of garments or shawls. Perfect for anyone who doesn’t love working with lace weight mohair held alone as this has the body and weight of a fingering weight yarn.
