Alyeska
Fiber: Merino Superwash / Cashmere/Nylon (80/10/10)
Weight: 4.0 oz / Yards: 360
Gauge: 7-8 stitches per inch
Needle: 1-3 US; 2.25-2.75 mm
"How much will 10% cashmere affect a 4 oz skein of sock
yarn? Grab a skein of Alyeska and you will be amazed. It is
so soft and fun to knit. 360 yards is still enough to knit
a pair of socks. The superwash gives it washability (hand
wash or machine wash gentle cycle.) and the nylon gives it
wearability."
St. Elias
Fiber: Bluefaced Leicester/ Nylon (80/20)
Weight: 4.0 oz / Yards: 450
Gauge: 7-8 stitches per inch
Needle: 1-3 US; 2.25-2.75 mm
"Maybe it was our spinning background; but we got really
excited when we had the opportunity to add a bluefaced leicester
blend to our line. It is by far the loftiest yarn in our lineup.
And no matter how much we process it, it still smells a little
like sheep. It is a wonderful yarn to knit with. Did we say
that 450-yard skeins give you plenty of length for a full
pair of socks? This isn’t a superwash so make sure to
hand wash."
Bling
Fiber: Mohair/Wool/Nylong/Silk/"bling" bits
Weight: 4.0 oz / Yards: 80
Super Bulky
Fabulous handspun yarn with “Bling” bits. Bling
is so very soft and is a hand spun from a luxurious blend
of mohair, wool, nylon, silk and Bling bits. Pagewood Farm
dyes the roving blend used to create this magnificent fiber
in small batches and are the same colors used in their great
yarns. “Bling” bits are novelty yarns that the spinner
adds while spinning the fibers. Bling bits can be anything
from metallic fibers,
