Fine Yarns in Exceptional Colors

NEW!!

Peruvian Dream ~ A super soft blend of Superwash Merino, Silk and Alpaca. We've also added nylon to the sock yarn to help make those socks last! 60% Superfine Superwash Merino, 20% Silk, 10% Alpaca and 10% Nylon

Approx 100 gm & 440 yd      Socks/shawl/baby sweater: 1 sk      Needles: 1-3            $25 

Baby Bunny ~ An amazing blend of Superwash Merino, Angora and Nylon. I had this yarn made   because I had a pair of angora socks I loved. I have found that because of the higher Angora content, there is a felting- like action taking place when wearing shoes. The socks still feel good but they don't look as good after some wear.  It is perfect for sweaters, especially baby sweaters, blankets, etc. 60% Superfine Superwash Merino, 20% Angora and 20% Nylon.   

Approx 100 gm & 440 yd      Socks/shawl/baby sweater: 1 sk      Needles: 1-3            $25

Twinkle Toes ~ A blend of Superwash Merino, Silk and Nylon. Also very soft with the luster of silk. 60% Superfine Superwash Merino, 20% Silk and 20% Nylon.
