It's getting pretty exciting in the Stitch Noir studio!
I have run out of my regular 30g and 50g sock yarn mini skeins that I used to make gradients, and after this Thursday I only have a couple of days in the studio before the Almonte fiberfest because I'll be working out of town.
So instead of getting an order for more yarn, I'm going through my undyed stock and discovering loads of minis in different bases, colour coding them with ties and making gradient sets out of them!
What this means is you can expect gradient sets in all sorts of bases at the . Here are some of the ones I have discovered so far!
π§Ά 3-ply fi*****ng 80% superwash BFL 20% nylon - Many say that Blue Faced Leicester wool stands up better to wear due to its long staple and slightly higher Micron count. Still next to skin soft and good for all sorts of garments! Especially socks!
π§Ά 4-ply fi*****ng superwash 75% fine merino 25% nylon - A rounder stronger sock yarn with more stitch definition than my typical 3-ply sock yarn. Great for all sorts of clothing and accessories!
π§Ά 3-ply fi*****ng superwash 70% merino 20% natural yak 10%Tussah Silk - A lovely blend offering stitch definition and a soft next-to-skin base. The yak adds warmth and a softness, while the silk adds strength, drape and a gentle sheen. Great for lightweight tops, shawls scarves.
π§Ά Single ply superwash 100% merino wool - has a beautiful stitch definition! Great for hats, scarves, shawls.
Really looking forward to the show! Going to have so many new yarns and colours in stock!
