Yarn Gauge

July 9, 2020

Do you ever wonder what sett you should use for a particular yarn?  Use these handy little Yarn Gauges to figure it out.

Wrap the yarn in either the 25mm (1″) or 12.5mm (1/2″) slot and count the number of wraps. If you used the 25mm (1″) slot, divide the number by 2 to give you an approximate number of ends/inch for plain weave.  If you used the 12.5mm (1/2″) slot, the number of wraps will give you an approximate number of ends per inch for plain weave.  Remember, this is a good starting point, but sampling will give you the best information.

Made from lacquered Silver Beech hardwood. Comes complete with leather loop and wrap/gauge table for knitting yarns.  Click here to see our table of yarn information for various yarns.

EZ Bobs – Kumihimo bobbins

October 25, 2019

These bobbins are a must have while braiding or any other time you want to keep small amounts of yarn under control.  You wind the yarn around the bobbin and then pop them shut securing the yarn inside.  When you need more yarn to work with, you unsnap them, unwind some yarn and resnap them.  So simple and elegant.  Don’t braid at home without these!

They are also perfect to hold warp ends that need to hang off the back of your loom!  Available in 1.9″ or 2.5″.

Closeout Bleached Hemp Yarns

This is the remainder of our original hemp yarn stock.  What we have left is all there is of this yarn.  This 100% Hemp yarn is a long line wetspun yarn with great drape and longevity. The 3 ply is great for towels and clothing; and 1 ply that is ideal for clothing.  The 3-ply yarns are available on 400+g cones, and the 1 ply yarn is available on 550± cones.  The yarn is slightly slubby as a result of the spinning process. If you would like a 2-ply yarn, we are now stocking our Lyte hemp yarn.  Click here for more information about the Lyte hemp yarn.
