Turin has been an old time favourite in our collection. This magical yarn effortlessly transforms into durable socks or luxurious clothing. The yarn is soft, light and has a gorgeous sheen. The added Ramie (processed nettle) and silk content, gives this yarn the needed strength for long lasting socks, sweaters and other garments. As you can see an absolute all rounder!

Turin is made from 60% pure wool, 20% mulberry silk and 20% Ramie. The wool comes from South America, the ramie fibre and mulberry silk is imported from China and the final yarn is spun in Czechia, Europe. 

Once done, we apply the final colour touch, using only sustainable, no impact dyeing methods and organic ingredients. Turin is a joy to dye and it has a beautiful saturated, yet semi solid colour uptake. 

In a nutshell:

Weight: 100g = 3.5 oz skeins
Meterage: 425m = 465yards = 4ply
Suggested Knitting Needles: 3mm (metric needle size) = Size 3 (USA)

Lima is a new and rather cool addition to our growing yarn range. The yarn is soft, light and with a little sheen. Rather than mulberry silk, Lima is made using tussah silk, also known as peace silk. The worm had the chance to leave the cocoon, creating a partly crystalized silk thread. This results in a difficult fibre to dye, but works beautifully in a blended yarn. 

Add the linen content and Lima has a more speckled and slightly textured appearance. Lima is a versatile yarn, with structure, softness and longevity. A pleasure to knit and wear, especially in the warmer seasons. 

Lima is made from 50% pure wool, 25% Tussah silk and 25% Linen. The entire wool production is done in Peru from the raising of the sheep to the finished yarn. The mulberry silk is imported from China and the linen from South America, but all is spun in Peru. 

Once done, we apply the final colour touch, using only sustainable, no impact dyeing methods and organic ingredients.
