75/25 SW Ultrafine Merino & Mulberry Silk (Dyed to Order)
$30.00
FILIGREE (dk)
75% SW Fine Merino/25% Mulberry Silk⎜230 yards
*Minimum Order: 2 skeins
This yarn just gives and gives and gives. Like Song, this base is enchantingly soft. And the silk offers an added serving of strength and warmth. But the truly noteworthy characteristic of this yarn is its glimmer; Filigree offers a rich luster than seems to toy with light as you turn it over in your hands. This is what inspired its name, as it reminded me of the jewel-like way that the plies dance in the sun's rays.
Color Character: Filigree results in brighter color profiles owing to the silk content. Because the silk acts as a light reflector colors appear slightly lighter than they do on merino bases.

100% Baby Alpaca (Dyed to Order)
$28.00
SERENITY (light fingering)
100% Baby Alpaca⎜215 yards
*Minimum Order: 2 skeins
This yarn is so incredibly soft (yes, even softer than the merino), and at an excellent price. Really, I hate to put down any project that I am knitting or crocheting in Serenity...so, I inevitably end up leaving the laundry in the dryer just a little longer so I can indulge in a few more rows. In addition to being crazy soft, alpaca is also remarkably warm (yes, even warmer than merino) and because it doesn't have a great deal of spring to it, it offers gorgeous drape. Now, alpaca does not felt, so you don't have to be concerned with shrinkage, however, as with all our yarns we recommend that you hand wash your serenity items to keep them lovely for a long long time.
Color Character: Slightly subdued color profiles as alpaca always softens color just a tad.
