Bases

4Ply 100% Merino Yarn – 400metres   

Pure superwash treated Merino in all its glory with my unique colourways enabling you to express yourself!

This yarn knits up well for items like socks, scarves, shawls, babywear, cardigans, fair isle projects.. the list goes on.

Knitted using 2.75mm needles, this yarn has a tension of 30 stitches to 38 rows.  However, gauge swatching is always a good idea for best results.  A generous 400 metres per 100 gram skein, I find that once knitting a pair of average size socks I have enough left over for a contrasting cuff and heel for another pair of socks.

Suggested needle size is 2.25mm to 3.25mm which would suit many fingering/4ply patterns. 

8ply/Double Knit Yarn 100% Merino – 225metres

For the bolder, bigger knits, this superwash treated sheepy yarn is bouncy, soft and bursting with yarny goodness!  A great 225m per 100 gram skein, there is enough in just one skein for a small handkerchief style shawl complete with tassles!  Also being double knit, this yarn will knit up quickly and smoothly for many garment uses. 

Suggested needle size is 4mm to 5mm, but I always suggest swatching to get a match for your recommended

 

Tender 78% Kid Mohair, 28% Silk

This is soft, strong and light. With the warmth of kid mohair and the strength and lustre of silk, this is bound to be a firm favourite this season. Don’t miss out! Even though it is classed as lace weight, this can knit up using large needle for a great lacy look with all the warmth.
This is a whopping 420 metres of pure cloud like softness. Light as air and warm as toast, this lace weight is an excellent choice for the one skein shawls or a fabulous cardigan.  
 
Use large needles for a lacy look or one Tender strand together with a merino strand to create your own unique colour!
