Lima Sionnach (Fox) ~ Wool/Linen/Tussah Silk yarn dyed with madder root
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.

Weight: 100g = 3.5 oz skeins
Meterage: 350m = 383yards = 4ply/Sport

Síoda Solas na gréine (Sunshine)~ Merino Silk yarn dyed with Madder & organic hawthorn and organic buckthorn bark
Síoda is one of our favourite sellers. The yarn is soft, light and yet with a light drape. The high mulberry silk content gives it a beautiful sheen and a signature luxury similar to our yeti yarn. A pleasure to knit and a joy to wear.

Und dann war da noch die Brennnessel. Turin ist ein leicht glänzendes 4-fädiges Garn und hat viel zu bieten! Dieses in der Tschechischen Republik gesponnene Garn besteht aus einer Mischung von Wolle mit Ramie und Seide, wodurch ein zartes, aber starkes Garn mit einem frechen Glanz entsteht. Dies ist einer unserer Favoriten für die Verwendung in pflanzengefärbten Mehrfarben – er lässt die Farben lebendig werden und verändert sich ständig mit dem Licht.
Aufgrund seines Ramie- und Seidenanteils ergibt es robuste Socken, kann aber auch zum Stricken schmeichelhafter Kleidungsstücke verwendet werden. Wunderbar weich, kann am Anfang aber etwas steif sein, dieses Garn wird Sie im Handumdrehen überzeugen.
