How well do you know your yarns? 🤔🧶

Kidsilk 👉a blend of mohair and silk fibers known for its soft, lightweight feel. If you’re looking to create an airy piece with a beautiful drape, add this to your shopping list. It combines really well with other yarns also.

Merino Twist 👉made from 100% merino wool characterised by its twisted ply structure, adding strength and durability. It’s softness, warmth, and versatility make it a great choice for a wide variety projects.

Merino Lace Single 👉a single-ply yarn, 100% merino wool that’s exceptionally soft and fine. This is the perfect choice for delicate lace projects and lightweight shawls that showcase intricate lace patterns.

It’s also great to hold with another yarn for a subtle bit of additional colour.
