SOCK WEIGHT BASES:
ATHENA SOCK/FINGERING: These are LUXURIOUS! 70% superwash merino, 20% yak, and 10% nylon, +/- 437 yards, 100g skein, 3 ply. The yak in these skeins is dark and even at 20%, they make the natural/undyed skeins gray. That makes dyeing these a unique challenge so colorways on this base will not look the same on other bases who are naturally a white/cream color. I like this base for sweaters, shawls, cowls, cardigans, etc. They are "smooth like buttah!"
TABITHA SOCK/FINGERING: 80% micron 19.5 superwash merino (the lower the micron number the finer/softer the wool. Micron 19.5 is VERY fine), 20% nylon, +/-450 yards, 100g. They are a lighter fingering weight and the drape is out-of-this-world fabulous. I like this base for shawls, scarves, snuggly cardigans, etc.
SPORT WEIGHT BASE(S):
SALEM SPORT: 100% superwash merino, +/-325 yards, 100g. This base is a 3-ply yarn. If you hold two strands double, you get a perfect worsted weight. I like this base for beanies, gloves/mittens, any outerwear, shawls, socks, sweaters, etc.
DK WEIGHT BASE(S):
ANNABETH DK: 85% fine superwash merino, 15% mulberry silk, +/-246 yards, 100g, 2 ply. These skeins have visible plys, giving them a unique texture. The silk gives the skeins a beautiful shine! So lovely! I like this base for garmets that are worn next to your skin; cowls, scarfs, sweaters, etc.
PERCY DK: 75% superwash merino, 25% nylon, +/-246 yards, 100g, 4-ply. Lovely drape and durability, and very soft! I use this base for any pattern that calls for DK weight yarn.
ARAN/WORSTED WEIGHT BASE(S):
WILMA WORSTED/ARAN: 100% superwash merino, +/-210 yards, 115g, 4-ply. I've had this base for over a decade. It's my favorite worsted weight yarn. It's a little thicker that other worsted weight skeins, and I've used it to make everything. I especially love sweaters and blankets.
BULKY WEIGHT BASE(S):
BFF BULKY: 100% superwash merino, +/-109 yards, 100g, single-ply, thick and thin roving yarn. This yarn base behaves similarly to handspun yarn. The thick and thin gives finished items a lovely texture. It's so fun to work with this base. It's nice for beanies and thick sweaters.
URSULA BULKY: 100% FINE superwash merino, +/-109 yards, 100g, 2-ply. This yarn is so plump and springy - it's like a cloud. Perfect for any bulky project.
LIMITED EDITIONS: This category is for discontinued bases, and new bases I like to try just for fun. Chances are that when they're gone, they are gone. But everyone needs to try new things every once in awhile, so here they are.
