  • alley cat yarns

    All of Alley Cat's bare yarn comes from suppliers who are third-party certified for standards in animal welfare and environmental stewardship (RWS and GOTS), or from traceable small family farms where she has personally investigated these standards. All yarns are non-mulesed. Alley Cat Yarns sources and dyes breed-specific wools quite regularly, and produce unique, colour-rich yarns in many non-repeatable colourways.

  • polyamide / nylon

    Nylon is a synthetic material that is often used to provide structure, stability and strength to yarns made with other, softer fibres. A nylon content of at least 15% is recommended for socks.

  • 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.

  • 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.
