Serendipity - Fingering

This is a 4-ply fingering weight base that has approximately 460 yards per 100 grams. It is composed of 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon.

It is the thinnest of my fingering weight bases and is quite soft. This yarn also takes up the dye so well. Of all the bases, this shows the colors the brightest.

This is a great choice for socks due to the nylon content and the 4-ply construction.

Splendid - Fingering

This is a 4-ply fingering weight base that has approximately 437 yards per 100 grams. It is composed of 85% superwash merino wool and 15% nylon.

Splendid is my middle of the road fingering weight yarn. It's thicker than Serendipity but thinner than Glee. This yarn is a 19.5 micron merino which means it is the softest of my fingering weight yarns. It's a delight to knit with. It also takes up the dye well, but the colors don't show quite as bright as Serendipity.

This is a great choice for socks due to the nylon content and the 4-ply construction.

Glee - Fingering

This is a 3-ply fingering weight base that has approximately 400 yards per 100 grams. It is composed of 90% superwash targhee wool and 10% nylon.

Glee is my thickest fingering weight yarn. It leans more between a fingering weight and a sport weight yarn and is not as soft as the others. It's not next to skin scratchy but it does have some rustic characteristics to it. For my splendid and Serendipity weight bases I normally cast on 64 stitches. For Glee, I cast on 56 stitches using the same size 1 US needle. You may need to experiment with gauge on this base.

This is also a great choice for socks due to the targhee wool and a bit of nylon. This makes for some sturdy socks.

Serendipity DK - DK

This is a 4-ply DK weight base that has approximately 245 yards per 100 grams. It is composed of 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon.

This is an extremely soft DK base and is so pleasant to knit with. I have this custom made for my shop and I love it so much!

This is a great choice for socks due to the nylon content and the 4-ply construction.
