pairing yarns

Some yarns are good on their own — but great with a friend. The yarns in this collection can all be worked solo, but they really shine when paired with something else: a mohair halo over a solid base, a thread of cashmere for unexpected warmth, a twist of sparkle that catches the light just right.  Combining bases can give you the bespoke qualities of both.  Pairing yarns is one of the more creative things you can do with a simple project, and the results are often surprisingly unique. If you're not sure where to start, ask — we love this kind of problem.

pairing yarns - Wabi Sabi

These are some guidelines for pairing two weights together:


light fingering + lace = fingering

fingering + lace = sport

fingering + fingering = double knitting

sport + lace = double knitting

sport + fingering = worsted

dk + lace (or any higher weight yarn) = no significant change

dk + fingering = worsted or aran

worsted + fingering = aran


Always swatch to confirm your gauge.
