Fingering

Gilitrutt is spun from fleeces that Hélène personally hand-selects and grades one by one after the first shearing of the Icelandic lambs. The carefully crafted result is an Icelandic lambswool yarn of unparalleled softness and fineness.

Gilitrutt’s two plies give it strength while maintaining a surprisingly soft hand and beautiful halo. Despite its fineness, it has all of the lightness and warmth expected from Icelandic wool yarns. This versatile yarn can be knitted with a variety of needle sizes and makes deliciously light sweaters as well as scarfs and mittens and is even suited for baby garments.

mYak's Fior di Lino is a captivating yarn that seamlessly combines the spirit of Italian Linen, the delicate softness of Tibetan Baby Yak, and the luxurious depth of Tibetan Cloud wool. Prepare to dive into the lush beauty of Italy's countryside, the serene expanses of the Tibetan Plateau, and the timeless elegance of the natural world.

Colorways titled: Glacier, Fox, Tuscan Fields, Mountain Mist, and Watermelon Sorbet are part of mYak's special collaboration with designer Isabell Kraemer. 

Kraemer says, "When Paola first told me about this latest yarn, I was really excited. A blend of Tibetan Cloud, Baby Yak and a bit of linen on top sounded perfect. And my expectations were more than fulfilled! Fior di Lino is a joy to knit with and produces a wonderfully soft yet beautifully supple fabric. The stitch definition and the drape are absolutely amazing. Perfect for sweaters and accessories. Knowing how important fair and safe working conditions are to mYak, along with their great love and respect for the environment, makes Fior di Lino a yarn I can recommend with all my knitter’s heart…. and I feel really honoured that mYak invited me to contribute to the colour palette of this beautiful yarn!”

Alongside their dedication to helping sustain the traditional way of life of the Tibetan nomads, co-founders Paola and Andrea, also craft all of their yarn bases in mills that emphasize fair labor practices, safe working environments, and a strong commitment to environmental sustainability.

The wool in Cotton Merino is certified by RWS – the Responsible Wool Standard – ensuring that animals, farmers, and the environment are treated with care. This certification comes with a lengthy list of requirements, including protecting the Five Freedoms of animal welfare: freedom from hunger and thirst, freedom from discomfort, freedom from pain, injury and disease, freedom to express normal behavior and freedom from fear and distress. RWS certification also ensure that healthy soil, biodiversity, and social welfare for farmers and workers are prioritized. 

Bourette silk is cruelty free! Silk yarn is made with the silk threads that come from silk worm cocoons. An intact silk worm cocoon is made of one single very long thread. In conventional silk production the cocoons are boiled, leaving the silk worms to die. Bourette silk, on the other hand, is made from the silk threads of naturally vacated cocoons – ones from which the silk worms have completed their natural metamorphosis into moths. During this incredible process, the cocoon breaks apart leaving the silk thread in pieces. These short silk fibers are painstakingly collected and spun into yarn. Creating bourette silk is a very time consuming process resulting in a more rustic, but no less luxurious strand of yarn. 

The fiber for Ghost Town Fingering comes from Shaniko Wool Co. Merino/Rambouillet cross sheep. These sheep are raised by family-owned ranches in the Great Basin region of the American West.

Led by champion of the American wool industry, Jeanne Carver, Shaniko Wool Co. is a truly sustainable wool. In 2018, Jeanne and Dan Carver's family ranch – Imperial Stock Ranch located near Shaniko, Oregon – became the first ranch in the world to be RWS certified. RWS-certification ensures that the people, land, and animals associated with production of this yarn and fiber are all treated fairly and ethically.

Shaniko Wool Co. is building on the Carver family's commitment to regenerative farming practices which promote healthy ecosystems and preserve biodiversity for current generations, and those to come. Now a farm group of 10 ranches over 4 states, Shaniko Wool Co. is also NATIVA Regen certified - the first third-party certified, regenerative wool program in the U.S. With a double NATIVA + RWS certification, Shaniko Wool Co. fiber is 100% transparent and traceable from sheep to skein, raising the bar for sustainable wool sourcing in the United States. 

Tumalo Fiber's Caldera Fingering is a hardy skein spun from 100% Cormo wool. The 2-ply configuration creates a prominent stitch definition when worked up. This yarn is as bouncy and robust as it is irresistibly soft, crafted for makers who want crisp stitch definition. 

The Cormo sheep, originally bred in Tasmania in the 1960s by crossing Corriedale and superfine Merino, bring together the best of both breeds: the resilience and loft of Corriedale, and the buttery softness of Merino. The result is a wool that’s springy, elastic, and next-to-skin soft – with a fine micron count that rivals luxury fibers.

Shetland Spindrift's ample palette of softly heathered and solid colors is perfect for intricate colorwork and lacework, as well as weaving. Its durability makes it perfect for long-wearing projects. It's softness means it will be adored by whoever is lucky enough to wear your creations.
