  • Kidsilk Haze

    £10.50

    One of Rowans most popular yarns Kidsilk Haze blends the soft halo of kid mohair with the vibrant shine  of silk. It comes in a stunning range of 80 colours.  Kidsilk haze has long been a favourite of lace knitters as it creates incredibly warm garments that appear to float on air. This yarn can also be paired with another to make it thicker while giving it a subtle halo.

    70% Mohair, 30% Silk.

    25g balls: 210m /229yds

    Suggested needle size: 3.25mm – 5mm

  • Recycled Sari Silk 100g Ropes.

    £9.00

    At The Lace Knittery we love this stuff. It is the loom waste from saris produced in India and rather than going to landfill we use them. It gives extra income to the local workforce as well as saving something beautiful and useful from waste.

    At The Lace Knittery HQ we have used it on it’s own to spin with, which it does like a dream on both drop spindles and spinning wheels. It blends beautifully with any other fibre and a little goes a long way, you only need about 10% to get the colour and effect. Our customers continually amaze us and love it as much as we do. They have used it to not only spin with but to (from the top!) wet felt, needle felt, knit with, crochet with, weave on a tablet loom, weave into knitting on a machine, make into bowls, couched in hand embroidery, used in machine embroidery and use in mixed media.

    Each rope unplaits into a 100g ball. Mostly of silk but some cotton or other fibres may be in the mix.

    Enjoy!

  • The Lace Knittery Hand Painted Lace Weight Baby Alpaca Yarn

    £22.00

    At The Lace Knittery we hand paint and naturally dye our own range of yarns and fibre. All are natural fibres and traceable to source, ethically produced and in our dyeing processes do not use harsh chemicals.
    The hand painted range is dyed by me at The Lace Knittery HQ in Somerset. Each skein has the colour applied by hand and pushed in inch by inch. This means an even colour, no gaps and a soft drift of colours across the skein.

    They are washed several times to remove any excess dye.

    They are all inspired by the world around me and the myth, magic and beauty of these British Isles.

    Each skein is 100g 800m (enough to knit an entire wrap)

    70% baby alpaca, 20% silk 10% cashmere.
