All our laceweight yarns are dyed on luxury bases to give the our customers a real treat to knit with. As well as traditional 2ply yarns we also offer a finer 'cobweb' weight yarn
50% Suri Alpaca, 30% Merino, 20% Silk.
Weight approx 1200m(1320yards) per 100g.
Our cobweb weight is for those who really love their lace knitting. Suri alpaca and merino gives luxurious softness while the silk content gives drape and lustre.The extra fineness and length makes it ideal for larger shawl and stole patterns and is great for knitting stunning lace tops. As the yarn contains a high proportion of alpaca it tends to take up dyes to give slightly softer tones than our wool yarns.
50% Superwash Merino, 50% Tencel.
Weight approx 800m(880yards) per 100g.
Our best-selling yarn, Silky Lace is a superb knitting yarn giving excellent stitch definition. The wool content is superwash merino which gives a lovely softness. In the case of the SilkyPlus yarn the merino is from the Falkland Islands and is exceptionally fine giving yarn.
Tencel is a fibre extracted from wood pulp that gives an exceptionally silky sheen and reflective appearance to the yarn as well as giving a lovely drape to items like shawls or stoles knitted in the yarn. Unlike some other plant-based fibres, Tencel has been developed to minimise environmental damage during to its manufacture-it is produced from sustainable wood sources and is extracted using solvents in a closed-loop system that allows the vast majority of the chemicals used to be recycled rather than being flushed into local water supplies.
This soft lace yarn is suitable for a variety of projects, particularly lace knitting for shawls and stoles, as the high tencel content gives superb drape.
80% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester, 20% Silk.
Weight approx 800m(880yards) per 100g.
Until we started doing Lustrous Lace this was our standard BFL lace. We now only do it for wholesale and very rare outings to shows (mainly when we are a bit short of our other bases). Made from British Bluefaced Leicester it is ideal for shawl and stoles but can also be used for lightweight summer cardigans.
