Yarn Bases / Weights
Our colours are available on a range of different yarn bases to suit your next project. We focus on natural fibres in 4 ply sock weight, 6 ply sport weight, 8 ply DK weight right up to 10 ply worsted and super chunky weight yarn. The needles sizes and gauges given below are to be used as a guide only as each knitters gauge can be slightly different. Yarns with a * are non-superwash. We recommend handwashing all handknits in cold water with mild detergent/wool wash and drying flat in the shade. The merino wool in our bases come from growers who do not practice mulesing.
