Other Yarns & Blends
Premium Kid Silk
£20.00
Premium Kid Silk is an exclusive range of luxury hand dyed kid silk by David. The 36% silk content gives a beutiful lustre and softness to the yarn. Premium Kid Silk can be used as a standalone yarn for special projects such as shawls, scarfs and boleros. It can also be added as a second strand to 4ply or DK projects to add an extra element of colour and fluff to jumpers, socks etc.
Premium Mohair Sock Yarn
£24.50
Premium mohair sock is a limited edition of one off individual skeins. It is a buttery soft 4ply yarn spun from 65% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon and 15% Kid Mohair ensuring an optimal squish. Each skein is 100g and measures approximately 425m (465 yards) and is suitable for those finer projects such as socks, shawls, gloves, boleros etc. It is a superwash so a gentle machine wash is an option, although with any hand dyed yarn a hand wash is recommended, dry flat and please don't tumble dry. Please Note: My philosophy and therefore the techniques I use for dyeing my yarns are such that no two skeins are identical, each have their own unique personality. When using two or more yarns from the same colourway I would recommend knitting a few rows from the first skein and continuing with a few rows from the second skein and so on, this will ensure an even mix of colours and continuity throughout the project.
Grey Matters
£17.50
A fantastically soft 4ply yarn consisting of 85% poldale wool (a mix of polworth & corriedale, sourced from the Falkland Islands) 15% nylon. Each skein is 100g measuring 400m and is ideal for socks, hats, scarves, shawls etc. It is a Superwash yarn although as with any hand dyed yarn, hand washing is recommended (a cool wool wash on most machines should be fine), dry flat and please do not tumble dry.
Petite Pastels
£16.00
Petite Pastels is an exclusive range of luxury complimenting hand dyed yarns by David. The range focuses on a hand dyed featherweight Kid Silk with a coordinated DK Pure Merino or 4ply Pure Merino Single. Each of the three yarns can be used for separate projects or the Kid Silk can be added to the Merino to add an extra fluffy texture to your DK or 4ply project, resulting in an amazingly soft finish.
Falklands/Corriedale Super Chunky
£22.00
An amazingly soft single ply Super Chunky in 100% pure Falklands wool, hand dyed by David. The skein weighs 200 grams and is approximately 130 metres. Tension is 3 stiches / 3 rows per inch and is knitted on 10mm to 12 mm needles. Please be aware this yarn is not a superwash and therefore requires hand washing at 30 deg, dry flat and please do not tumble dry. As with all of David's yarns "No Skein is the Same" as a result if you are working on a project using two or more skeins then the advice would be to knit/crochet a couple of rows/chains then alternate with the second skein to ensure continuity of colour throughout the project. Very occassionally you may find small patches of lighter yarn as a result of the dying process used, this is entirely normal.
Weardale Wonders In Yak - Limited Edition
£22.50
Weardale Wonders In Yak is a limited edition of one off individual skeins. It is a luxury soft 4ply yarn spun in Peru from 65% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon & 15% Yak. Each skein is 100g and measures approximately 425m (469 yards) and is suitable for socks and those finer projects such as shawls, gloves, boleros etc. It is a superwash so a gentle wool wash is an option however as with any hand dyed yarn I would recommend a gentle hand wash using a wool detergent, dry flat and please don't tumble dry or wring/twist.
