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.
Nylon
- A strong, lightweight and highly elastic synthetic polyamide fibre known for its abrasion resistance and durability.
- Often blended with wool for socks as it adds strength, shape-retention and moisture-wicking properties.
- When blended with natural fibres, follow wash instructions based on the natural fibre.
