  • malabrigo

    A family-owned yarn company located in Uruguay and Peru, Malabrigo has developed a line of hand-dyed yarns of incredible softness and colour variations. Their products are made out of the softest fibres available, and their colours are inspired by nature, places, art, and day-to-day life.

  • superwash wool

    Superwash is a treatment method that is used to make wool fibres more resistant to shrinking and felting. There are a different methods used to achieve this, and the methods vary in terms of durability and environmental impact. These yarns often take dye very well, and tend to have a lot more drape and stretch than non-superwash yarns. A hand-dyed yarn may be superwash yet still recommend hand washing: this is to extend the colourfastness.

  • merino wool

    Merino sheep create a wool with a long, smooth fibre that is lightweight, warm, and soft. Like all wool, it has excellent breathability and does an excellent job regulating temperature in garments. It is a very popular type of wool to use for hand knitting yarn, and is a great choice for socks and garments worn close to the skin.
