Baby Alpaca Cashmere 4-ply
The Rolls Royce amongst Sock Yarns, this yarn is as soft as they get. Like butter in your fingers, it has a stunning drape, which makes it extremely suitable for Lace Shawls. However, the Baby Alpaca makes it strong enough and beautiful for socks.If you make the effort of knitting by hand and want to honour that effort withe the best yarn you can afford, then this is it!

BFL & Nylon Sock Yarn (Superwash)
The most popular 4-ply sock yarn in the range is the 100% BFL.
This is a 75% BFL, with 25% Nylon added for extra strength. It comes as a 100 gr. hank and, like it’s 100% BFL counterpart, it’s Superwash – this means it does not shrink, or felt. AND you can wash it safely in the washing machine!
400 m. per hank.
Knit with 2.25 – 2.5 mm needles
Also available as a 100% BFL Superwash
Bluefaced Leicester Sock Yarn (Superwash)
The most popular 4-ply sock yarn in the range, this 100% BFL comes as a 100 gr. hank. It’s Superwash – this means it does not shrink, or felt. AND you can wash it safely in the washing machine!
Extremely soft to the touch yet hard-wearing. This yarn works particularly well with Helen Deighan's Dyes but can also be used without dyeing.
Also available with a 25% nylon content for extra strength.
Sold in hanks of 100 grams.
400 m. per hank, which is plenty for a pair of socks.
Knit with 2.25 or 2.5 mm needles.
Merino & Bamboo Sock Yarn (Superwash)
This is a blend of 80% Merino, 20% Bamboo. It is slightly thicker than the Blue Faced Leicester Sock yarn and can therefore be knitted on slightly bigger needles. Bamboo is known for its antibacterial properties, which is one of the reasons why it is so popular in sock yarn blends. Dyes beautifully.
100 gr. = 400 m.
Knit with 2.5 or 2.75 mm needles.
Merino & Tencel Sock Yarn (Superwash)
A lovely 50/50% Merino/Tencel blend, this sock wool has a lovely lustre and silky feel. The tencel has a distinct effect on the dyeing results, with softer, more muted colours. Very well suited for other projects, not just socks, this yarn gives lots of stitch definition and a lovely drape. Sold as a 100 gr. hank, 333 m.
Knit with 2.5 or 2.75 mm needles

Superwash British Falkland Merino HT
I’m thrilled to be offering a High Twist sock yarn and a British Superwash one at that! I’ve tried to take a close up picture of the yarn to show off the high twist. It’s nice and lofty despite the high twist and should give you very pretty stitch definition. Once tried, this is one of those yarns you’ll come back to again and again.
100 gr hank, 365 metres per hank
Recommended needle size 2.5 mm
Tweed Sock Yarn
This brand-spanking new yarn gives all dyers something new to play with. It is a 3-ply yarn that consists of 2 strands of Merino and 1 strand of Superwash Merino. As seasoned dyers amongst you know, the process of rendering wool washable involves applying a coating to it. This coating stops the wool from felting, but it also affects the way in which it absorbs dye. So when you dye this yarn, the Superwash strand takes the dye slightly differently. This gives a tweedy effect when knitted (hence the name…)
Sold in 100 gr hanks, with 400 metres per hank
Needle size 2.25 – 2.5 mm
Handwash recommended
Undyed Organic Cotton Sock Yarn
This gorgeous yarn is made up of 55% organic Peruvian cotton and 45% tencel. It has a very slight sheen to it which gives it wonderful stitch definition.NOTE: unlike animal fibres (like wool), plant fibres (like this cotton/tencel blend) can not be dyed using Acid dyes. If you want to dye this yarn, use Procion dyes or Direct dyes. We will be introducing these in the course of this year.
Wooden Yarn Swift
Birch wooden umbrella style yarn swift or skein winder.
Attaches to a table edge with a chunky clamp-style screw-on attachment that will not damage your table.
These are excellent quality (I’ve had mine for >30 yrs and I use it A LOT!) and, from what I can find on the UK market currently, OUTSTANDING value. Competing products range from £54 to £88 for very similar products. I order them in small batches so may run out of stock from time to time. If I do, new ones will be on their way, but if you want it NOW, then order whenever you see them in stock to avoid having to practice your patience…NOTE: as of 11 Jan, I have 1 left in stock. So if you need it soon, buy now rather than later…
New stock expected by the 3rd week of January.
