YARNS

Yarn Bases

Each of my yarn bases was chosen for its softness and character. Here's why I love each one! Click over to my Etsy shop to see all colorways currently available on these yarn bases.

OLIVER
Single-Ply Fingering Weight
75/15/10 Superwash Merino/Cashmere/Silk
440 yards (402 meters), 115 grams
Hand wash, dry flat

Named after the incredible poet Mary Oliver, this base is a heavenly, super-soft, single-ply yarn with lovely sheen and drape. It is a delicate yarn suitable for shawls and lightweight garments, what I call an “imperfectly perfect” yarn because it has a slightly low twist and a bit of thick-and-thin going on.


Dye personality: Oliver is one of my top favorite yarns to dye and knit with. It gives a depth and luster to each color that's hard to beat! Darker colorways often appear lighter on this blend because of the single-ply construction.

ANGELA BASES
100% 17-Micron Superwash Wool

Angela Fingering

2-Ply Fingering Weight

425 yards (385 meters), 115 grams


Angela Sport
3-Ply Sport Weight
285 yards (260 meters), 115 grams

Angela Worsted
4-Ply Worsted Weight
212 yards (193 meters), 115 grams

Named after a character in the TV show Bones, all my Angela bases are soft and luscious, with a tighter twist


Dye personality: The twist of Angela gives a luminous quality to its colors, and the full wool content provides stable and consistent colors. Everything looks good on Angela.
