Lace Time Natural – skein

$16.25

100% Superwash Merino wool. Lace weight, 2-ply.
Approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 885m (968yd).
Gauge: because of the open work in lace knitting, gauge is seldom given for lace weight yarns. Follow your pattern recommendations for best results.
Laundering: Machine wash cool, tumble dry on low, hang or dry flat.

The same base yarn we use for our Lace Time™ line. The spin is smooth and soft. While at first it might seem strange to choose Superwash Merino for a fine lace shawl, it’s a good choice if you are knitting for others and don’t know about their laundering decisions. Because of the superwash wool this is not suitable for felting.

This yarn takes dye beautifully, whether you are using acid dyes, food colouring, Kool-aid or even natural dyes. Just bear in mind that Superwash yarn strikes with acid dyes so quickly that it can be very tricky to get a decent solid tone. Use that to your advantage like we do, to get interesting semi-solids or go crazy with hand painting. We highly recommend this yarn to first-time dyers!

Flaxen Silk Natural – skein
Flaxen Silk Natural – skein
65% Silk / 35% Linen. Lace weight, 2-ply. Approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 691m (756yd). Gauge: because of the open work in lace knitting, gauge is seldom given for lace weight yarns. Follow your pattern recommendations for best results. Laundering: Handwash cool, dry flat. John has only played around with this base a couple of times. It has a linen feel to the hand but with some lustre from the silk, in an ivory-beige shade. A good choice for summer shawls or other non-wool lace projects. The natural colour is a greyed ivory. Fibre reactive dyes might be the best choice for this yarn, but we've also tried acid dyes with good results. Just bear in mind that the linen component will not strike with the dye, so copious rinsing will have to be done. We found this needs a couple of days to hang and dry thoroughly before reskeining or winding, or it has a tendency to snag on the swift and break. PRODUCT of CANADA Price per skein. Approximately 115g.

Lace Time – Twilight Brocade
Price is per skein. Approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 885m (968yd). 2-ply, 100% Superwash Merino.

We are very proud of this colourway, which pushes the limits of what is possible with kettle dyeing. Flashes of rose, salmon, green-gold, pale blue, sage-green and rusty-wine are all brought together on one yarn. Semi-repeating but unpredictably random at the same time.
