BUDS AND BLOOMS SHAWL SET - Dyed to Order

TIMELINE
Because I'll be dyeing this just for you, it takes a little longer. Please allow 2-3 weeks for me to dye the yarn before shipping it to you.

VARIATIONS IN COLOR
Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn, each skein is unique, and the colors will vary somewhat from batch to batch and even from skeins dyed in a single batch. I highly recommend ordering as much as you will need for your project at once for the best color match.

YARN BASES
Here are my current yarn bases in order by yarn weight. The numbers following the name of each yarn base indicates its weight according to the Craft Yarn Council numeric system.

Suri Lace Cloud (0) - Suri Lace Cloud is a wonderfully soft and fuzzy textured yarn made of 65% baby suri alpaca and 35% silk. It comes in 50 gram skeins with 437 yards each. It's lovely on its own but even better paired with a sock-weight yarn. Uses: Knitting, Crochet, Weft in Weaving. Great for shawls, sweaters, fuzzy slippers, and more.

Sock Perfection (1) - I have finally found the perfect yarn base for socks and everything else! It is a fingering weight that combines 80% extra-fine 19.5 micron superwash merino with 20% nylon. It's a good solid 4-ply yarn that comes in 100 gram skeins with 450 yards per skein. It can be machine washed on cold and air dried. It tends to take the dye rather brightly. Uses: Knit, Crochet, Warp and Weft in Weaving. Great for socks, shawls, sweaters, etc.

Feather Fingering (1) - This is a 2-ply yarn made of 85% extra-fine non-superwash merino wool and 15% silk. It's a light fingering weight with 490 yards per skein! It should be hand-washed in cold water so it doesn't felt. On the other hand, it's great for weavers and others who want to full their cloth. It dyes up at a medium intensity. It has a really lovely hand! Uses: Knit, Crochet, Weft in Weaving. Great for shawls, sweaters, hats, and more.

Twinkle Fingering (1) - This is a 2-ply yarn made of 90% superwash merino and 10% lurex. It's soft and squishy and sparkly. What more could you want? It comes in 100 gram skeins with 411 yards per skein. It tends to dye up brightly.This can be hand washed or washed on a gentle cycle in the washing machine on cold. It should be laid flat to dry. Uses: Knit, Crochet, and Weft in Weaving. Great for shawls, sweaters, hats, and more, but not recommended for socks.

Stained Glass Fingering (1) - This is a soft and squishy 2-ply yarn made of 80% superwash merino and 20% nylon. Each 100 gram skein of this yarn has 437 yards. The thing that makes Stained Glass Fingering uniquely wonderful is that one of the two plies is made with black merino wool, so when I dye the yarn, it looks like stained glass. This yarn base would be great for shawls, sweaters, hats, legwarmers, and more. While it is better to hand wash this, it can be machine washed on cold and air dried. Uses: Knit, Crochet, and Weft in Weaving. Great for shawls, sweaters, hats, and more.

So Silky Fingering (1) - This yarn is lusciously soft! It's a 4-ply made of 50% mulberry silk and 50% superwash merino. It comes in 3.5 ounce or 100 gram skeins with a total of 438 yards per skein. So Silky Fingering tends to dye up fairly softly. I recommend washing it by hand in cold water because of the silk content, though there's nothing that will felt in this yarn. Uses: Knit, Crochet, Warp and Weft in Weaving. Great for shawls, sweaters, hats, and more. This is my favorite yarn to use as warp.

Dream Fingering (1) - This yarn is an amazingly soft luxury yarn base. It's made of 70% baby alpaca, 20% mulberry silk, and 10% cashmere. It has no sheep wool, so it's also an excellent option for those who are sensitive to sheep wool since there is no lanolin in any of the fibers in this lovely yarn. It's a 3-ply yarn with 437 yards per 100 gram skein.  Alpaca has wonderful drape but not much memory (the ability to bounce back into shape). For that reason, I would recommend this yarn base for projects where drape matters most like beautiful lacy shawls. Uses: Knit, Crochet, Warp and Weft in Weaving. Great for shawls, sweaters, hats, and more.

Splendid Sport (2) - Splendid Sport is a nice, soft 3-ply yarn with 328 yards per 100 gram skein. It's made of 100% superwash merino. It's great for shawls, sweaters, hats, and more. While it is better to hand wash this, it can be machine washed on cold and air dried. Uses: Knit, Crochet, Warp and Weft in Weaving. Great for shawls, sweaters, hats, and more, but not recommended for socks.

Buttery Soft DK (3) - This is a wonderfully soft 2-ply DK base with great stitch definition. It's made of 45% extra-fine merino (non-superwash), 45% baby alpaca, and 10% silk. It is a dream to work with! Each 100 gram skein contains 245 yards. This should be washed by hand in cold water and dried flat. Buttery Soft DK dyes up softly. In spite of being only 2 plies, I have used this yarn as warp on several occasions and had no difficulties. Uses: Knit, Crochet, Warp and Weft in Weaving. Great for shawls, sweaters, hats, and more.

Squoosh DK (3) - Squoosh DK is a squishy, soft, stretchy yarn made of 100% extra-fine superwash merino. It's a 4-ply yarn that comes in extra-large 115 gram skeins with 250 yards. This can be machine or hand washed in cold water but should be air dried. In spite of being somewhat stretchy for standard warp yarn, I have found that it works nicely for that purpose. Uses: Knit, Crochet, Warp and Weft in Weaving. Great for shawls, sweaters, hats, and more.

Squoosh Worsted (4) - Squoosh Worsted is just like Squoosh DK but heavier. It's made of extra-fine superwash merino, and it comes in 4 ounce skeins with 213 yards per skein. It's a soft and squishy 4-ply yarn that's great for hats, sweaters, shawls, and more. This base can be machine or hand washed in cold water but should be air dried. It dyes up at a medium intensity. Uses: Knit, Crochet, Warp and Weft in Weaving.

Quick and Cozy Bulky (5) - This 3-ply yarn made of 100% superwash merino makes projects go by so quickly! Each 100 gram skein has 106 yards. This base can be machine or hand washed in cold water but should be air dried. It dyes up at a medium intensity. Uses: Knit, Crochet, Warp and Weft in Weaving.
