Our Yarn Bases

We periodically change the bases that we regularly offer. This page will always have the most up to date list of bases available. If you don't see the base that you want, please reach out and we might be able to get it! I always keep kid mohair on hand, but only offer it in certain colorways so it's available by special request only.

Current Bases Available

Fingering Weight Bases:

  • Perfect Sock - 75/25 Ultra fine SW Merino/Nylon, 4 ply, 437 yards per 100g - This is our new favorite soft sock yarn and is a jack of all trades, from socks to shawls.
  • So Twisted Fingering- 80% Fine Superwash Merino Wool 21.5 mic 20% Recycled Nylon, 399 yards per 100g skein. Formerly called "Duo," this is a high twist 2-ply fingering weight yarn that takes the dye beautifully and is wonderful for shawls.
  • Silky Sock - 75/25 Ultra Fine SW Merino/Silk 4-ply: 437 yards. Has beautiful shine and drape, great for shawls. This yarn tends to take the color lighter than other bases due to the silk content. For example, black will usually look dark grey and black magic will be a little bit muted and lighter than normal. Please be sure you understand this before ordering this color. 
  • Single Ply Silky - 75/25 Ultra Fine SW Merino/Silk 1-ply: 437 yards. Has beautiful shine and drape, great for shawls. Important: Silk bases tend to look slightly lighter than non-silk bases due to the nature of the shine in the yarn. This base should not be used for socks due to the fragile nature of single ply yarn.
  • Summer Singles: 90% Superwash Merino 10% Linen Yarn, 394 yards per 100g skein. Single ply yarn. The linen rejects the dye which gives this yarn a gorgeous heathered, tweedy look, while the SW Merino takes the dye very richly. This yarn has fantastic drape and is my personal favorite for assigned pooling patterns.
  • I Need This MCN - 80/10/10 SW Merino/Cashmere/Nylon; 435 yards, 4-Ply - Ultra soft yarn that is great for socks or any fingering weight project that you want to add a hint of luxury to. Previous version with the same exact specifications from a different mill was called "I Knead This."

  • Kid Mohair Singles (fingering weight): 44% Kid Mohair 56% Superwash Merino,  single ply yarn. 437 yards/100g skein. This yarn is incredible!! It has the characteristic fuzz and halo of kid mohair, but takes the dye richly and predictably due to the superwash merino blended in with it.This yarn is our preference if you want to add mohair to your project. It's very soft and has beautiful drape and shine from the mohair.

Other weight bases:

    • Sassy Sport - 100% SW Merino, 328 yards - 3-ply. 
    • Opal DK - 85% Fine Superwash Merino Wool, 15% Mulberry Silk, This yarn comes in a tightly twisted 2-ply that is absolutely stunning. This base is a visually the same as Pearl DK, but the silk makes it take color slighty lighter than Pearl, and it offers a hint of sheen and feels softer. 246 yards per 100g skein.
    • Pearl DK - SW Merino high twist 2-ply, 246 yards - We're obsessed with this base! The ultra tight twist looks like a strand of pearls and it takes the dye beautifully. 
    • MCN DK (formerly called I Knead This DK- the same yarn but changed the name)- 80/10/10 Ultra Fine SW Merino/Cashmere/Nylon, 4-ply, 246 yards - great for dk socks! 
    • Simply Worsted - 100% Fine SW Merino 4-ply, 219 yards. A basic, well rounded and beautiful worsted weight yarn. Versatile and simple. 
    • Cuddle Aran - 80/10/10  SW Merino/Cashmere/Nylon, 3-ply, 181 yards. This is a wonderful MCN yarn that is incredibly soft and thick for a quick knit. 
    • Squishy Bulky- 100% Ultra Fine SW Merino 2-ply, 106 yards.  Slightly delicate, this yarn is incredibly soft and great for a quick project.

     

     

     

    Bases currently inactive:

    These bases have been rotated out, usually because we now can offer something similar that's less expensive to stock or of a higher quality from a different mill, or they are just too similar to another base that we are offering.

    • Squishy Sock - 85/15 Ultra fine SW Merino/Nylon, 4 ply, 437 yards per 100g
    • Roo - 50/50 SW Merino/Silk; 4-Ply, 438 yards - It's been a very popular base but different batches can vary drastically in appearance. For this reason, I like to keep it in stock for batches of ready to ship yarn that I will occasionally be dyeing. High silk, high drape.
    • Purrty - 55/45 SW BFL/Silk, 4-ply 438 yards - identical to Roo.
    • Belle - ULTRA fine 16 micron SW Merino/Cashmere/Silk - 75/15/10 437 yards per 100g - This is the softest base that we carry and it the most luxurious. Setting to inactive because it's difficult to consistently dye the same as other bases due to the fiber content. Will likely offer ready to ship batches which will feature it but will have photos of the exact yarn you will get.
    • Schmoozie - 75/25 SW Merino/Nylon, 4-ply, 463 yards - this is a great base with the same characteristics of Squishy Sock, but in a longer skein form and slightly more yardage.
    • Schmoozie dk - 75/25 SW Merino/Nylon, 4-ply - 246 yards
    • Slinky- 80/20 SW Merino/Silk; 2-Ply, 400 yards. We're keeping the 150g version and retiring the 100g version.

    • Bright Eyes - 75/25 SW BFL/Nylon, 4-ply, 463 yards - This is the sock yarn you want to choose for ultra strong socks, but is not as soft as the other bases. When you order mini Tonals to match your socks, you'll be getting this base. Perfect for heel and toe.
