Yarn Bases

I take care choosing my yarn bases. I source as locally as possible, while also choosing only yarn that I love to craft with. Refer to my yarn care guide for information on looking after your yarn and finished objects.

Lace

Tendril Lace

Fibre Content60% alpaca, 20% merino, 20% nylon
OriginNew South Wales wool, spun in New Zealand
Meterage100grams = 477metres / 522yards
This lace yarn is perfect for projects requiring some drape like shawls and cowls. It is super soft, a little fluffy and ever so warm.
Hand wash only.

Wispy Lace

Fibre Content72% kid mohair, 28% mulberry silk
OriginItaly
Meterage50grams = 420metres / 459yards
The mohair makes this yarn light and fluffy like a wispy cloud, while the silk catches the light for shiny pops of colour.  It is the perfect choice for combining with yarns to create fluffy soft sweaters and cowls or used on its own for open and beautifully drapey lace.

Sock/4ply/Fingering

Lattice Sock

Machine washing is possible, but for best results please hand wash.

Mini Skeins

From time to time my bases may change. Either because suppliers are no longer producing the yarn or I decide to no longer stock. Below are a list of yarns now discontinued, in case you have bought something from me in the past and need more details on a skein.
