From the guides
- GuideHolding yarns togetherWhat happens when two strands are knit as one — which weights two held strands add up to, how to hold a mohair-silk lace with a merino for a halo, how to work out the yardage and the needle, how to swatch a held pair, and the lace and fingering yarns we stock that are made for it.
- GuideMohair and halo yarns: kid silk, brushed suri and how to use themWhat mohair is and why kid mohair is the one in yarn, whether it itches and what to do if it does, why a mohair-silk lace is held with another yarn and what one strand does to gauge, drape and warmth, how to knit it, rip it out and wash it, the brushed suri alpaca alternative, and the mohair and halo lines we stock — Artyarns, Dream in Color Billy Kid Silk, Berroco Aerial, Schoppel Silky Cat, Blue Sky Prairie and Brushed Suri, Plymouth Suri Stratus, Lamb's Pride and Noro Silk Garden.
- GuideYarn for shawls, and how much a shawl takesWhich weights and fibers make a shawl drape, bloom and block — fingering, lace, mohair-silk, alpaca, silk blends — how many yards a shawlette, a medium shawl, a large wrap and a lace shawl take by weight, why blocking is half the yarn choice, and the shawl yarns we stock.
More from Dream in Color

Jilly is the fingering — a springy plied merino for socks and shawls, put up in generous 4 oz skeins — and Classy the worsted, one of the softest washable merinos we stock. Billy Kid Silk is the kid mohair and silk laceweight, dyed to match, for holding double with either.
