Birdie
Light Fingering, 328 yds / 50 g
74% Baby Suri Alpaca, 26% Silk
Birdie is known for its drape, this gorgeously soft baby suri alpaca yarn is blended with silk for strength. Birdie is the perfect alternative for those desiring a fluffy halo, but are allergic or sensitive to mohair. When held with another yarn, Birdie gives more opaque coverage than Mho Mho. Try it held single for a diaphanous effect, or doubled with itself, or another yarn, for more substance. To note: colors take slightly lighter to Birdie and its sisters, than to other bases.
Elmer Fingering
Fingering, 400 yds / 100 g
80% Merino, 20% Cashmere
Elmer Fingering is a woolen spun Merino/Cashmere blend. Like Elmer Tweed, it's rustic with a beautiful texture and richness. It’s fantastic on its own and perfect for colorwork. It’s light, lofty, and holds its shape beautifully. All the hold and snap back of wool with a whisper of cashmere for softness and halo. This workhorse, I-can-do-anything yarn is a shop favorite. Elmer Fingering also knits spectacularly well at a sport weight.
Mho Mho
Lace, 430 yds / 50 g
76% Super-fine Kid Mohair 24% Silk
Mho Mho is made with the softest super kid mohair we could find blended with a touch of silk. We’re in love with the way it takes the dye—it has some serious glow! Knit held with other yarns it provides a translucent wash of color and a gorgeous halo of fluff.
