From the guides
- GuidePlymouth Yarn: which one is which?Worsted Merino Superwash, Baby Alpaca Grande, Baby Alpaca Worsted, Homestead and Hearty Homestead, Roam, Quaker Hill, Hearthstone, Yakima, Suri Stratus, Alpaca Lino, Tussah Kissed, Davila and Pima Rino — how the Plymouth Yarn lines we stock differ in fiber, weight and washability, which to use for a pattern written for Encore, and what to knit in each.
- 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.
- GuideCashmere and luxury fibers: what you are paying forWhy cashmere, silk, suri alpaca, yak and kid mohair cost what they do — fineness in microns, yield per animal, dehairing and hand-dyeing — what a 20% cashmere blend actually gives you compared with pure cashmere, where the money is worth spending and where it is not, how to buy luxury yarn by the yard rather than the skein, how to care for it, and the cashmere and luxury-blend lines we stock.
More from Plymouth
Plymouth Yarn Company, out of Pennsylvania, is where most knitters find their first good alpaca: Baby Alpaca Grande is a chunky 100% baby alpaca that makes a scarf in an evening and a cowl in an hour, and Baby Alpaca Worsted is the same fibre at sweater gauge. Suri Stratus is the brushed suri laceweight for a halo.
The wools are the workhorses. Worsted Merino Superwash is a plied, washable merino in a wide solid palette, Homestead a Peruvian highland wool worsted with a Hearty chunky version, and Roam a heathered DK. Yakima adds yak to superwash merino; Quaker Hill is half wool, half alpaca. Every Plymouth order ships with matched dye lots.
