Blue Faced Leicester

  • Non-superwash, high-lustre, and durable British wool known for being wonderfully soft, long-stapled, and strong.
  • Comfortable when worn against the skin and less prone to pilling due to its staple length.  An excellent fibre for creating heirloom garments that will stand the test of time.
  • Ideal for projects requiring both luxury and durability, particularly favoured for superior drape and comfort.
  • Must be hand-washed gently in cool water to avoid felting.

Merino

  • Non-superwash, 19.5 micron (superfine) and valued for its extreme softness, next-to-skin comfort and natural matte appearance.
  • Retains natural crimp and elasticity which results in a bouncy, breathable yarn.
  • Highly defined stitches make this yarn ideal for high-quality apparel and accessories.
  • Must be hand-washed in cool water to avoid felting.

Alpaca

  • A luxurious, soft and durable fibre that is warmer and more lightweight than sheep's wool.  Hypoallergenic due to its lack of lanolin, and naturally water-resistant.
  • Has excellent drape but lacks "memory", meaning 100% alpaca garments may stretch over time and not snap back to shape.
  • Often blended with other fibers for use to create wearable garments such as sweaters.  Whereas 100% alpaca yarn is better suited to scarves and shawls.
  • Handwash in cold water to prevent felting, and dry flat to prevent stretching.

Mulberry Silk

  • Considered one of the finest silks available, produced by silkworms fed exclusively on mulberry leaves which results in smooth, strong fibres that are naturally hypoallergenic.
  • Excellent for creating delicate yet strong garments.  Its great moisture-wicking and thermal regulating properties make it a comfortable fiber for various climates.
  • Ideal for shawls, scarves, light sweaters,  and other accessories.
  • Handwash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

Kid Mohair

  • A luxurious, lightweight and soft fibre sourced from the first shearing of young Angora goats.  Known for its halo effect, it is typically blended with silk for added strength and shine.
  • Mohair fibres are extremely strong and elastic which resists wrinkling and pilling.  
  • Widely used held with another yarn to create a soft halo and warmth to wool or alpaca garments.
  • Ideal for lightweight, airy shawls and garments.
  • Handwash in cold water, lay flat to dry.

Tencel™

  • A sustainable, eco-friendly fibre made from wood pulp, generally eucalyptus.
  • Known for its silk-like softness, high sheen and excellent drape, Tencel™ is exceptionally strong when wet, making it perfect for knitting, crocheting and weaving.
  • A cellulosic fibre which as a result lacks the elasticity of wool but offers high stitch definition and is cool to the touch, making it a great warm weather fibre perfect for garments, shawls and tops needing a soft hand and shine.
  • Best to handwash in cool water and dry flat.

  • A strong, lightweight and highly elastic synthetic polyamide fibre known for its abrasion resistance and durability.

  • When blended with natural fibres, follow wash instructions based on the natural fibre.
