From the guides
- 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.
- GuideWorking with hand-dyed and variegated yarnKettle-dyed semi-solids, hand-painted variegateds and tonal layered dyes — why a hand-dyed skein pools, flashes or stripes depending on what you knit it into, how to alternate skeins and choose stitch patterns to tame it, when to let it pool on purpose, why hand-dyed has no dye lot in the usual sense and what we do about that, and which of our hand-dyed lines behave which way.
- GuideYarn brands we stock, and what each is known forThe 24 yarn and needle brands on our shelves, grouped by what they do best — hand-dyed merino, self-striping and gradient yarns, American and British wool, alpaca, luxury fibers, summer cottons and linens, needles — with the line to start with from each.
