http://www.lovecrafts.comEco+ Hemp’s intriguing combination of Peruvian Highland
Wool and hemp creates a wonderfully soft yet durable yarn,
which is said to have anti-bacterial properties. This yarn
softens with use, while maintaining its structure well,
and knits up into a warm and cosy fabric. It is available
in a range of elegant, heathered shades.When knitted up, Coastline has an interesting tonal look - a
result of how the different fibres in the blend respond to the
dyeing process. There’s a palette of 12 soft shades to choose
from. The fabric feels cool and soft, and offers good stitch
definition. Find a range of lightweight women’s designs by
Jody Long using Coastline on the Knitting Fever website.This 4ply yarn may be called Lace Merino, but it isn’t just for
lace! It’s a lovely choice for all sorts of shawls, accessories and
lightweight garments. The colour palette includes vibrant solid
shades, like the Pineapple Soda of our sample, along with
striking variegated and self-striping options, all spun from
wonderfully soft and machine-washable merino wool.This delightful 4ply blend of merino, silk and yak is so soft
and smooth, and knits up into a fabric with an incredible
shimmer and sheen. It’s a single-ply yarn that’s sure to
make some truly stunning sweaters, shawls and scarves.
The shade range offers deep, vivid colours to choose from,
all created by master hand-dyed Marcin Lorkowski.MARTIN’S LAB
