White Bear Fibers Sport

This 8-Ply Superwash Merino is a cabled yarn of 4 double-plies, giving us a unique 8-ply superwash Sport yarn. Good for sturdy socks, or for a quick knitting sock. Also the right weight for baby clothes, women’s tees and fine sweaters, hats/gloves/fingerless gauntlets. Sport weight is predicted to be all the new craze this year.

Lagniappe DK

Texas Wildflowers Colorway

Lagniappe DK is our Merino-Cashmere-Nylon yarn. A blend of 80/10/10 superwash Merino with Cashmere and nylon, we feel this percentage creates a soft yarn, yet strong at the same time. Soft because our springy superwash merino is already a wonderfully soft quality fiber, and mixed with cashmere, the blend becomes even softer. Strong because the nylon element builds strength into the yarn. Our yarns are combed deeply and well to blend the fibers, so there will be no one fiber which will come to the top on this yarn or pill, once knitted.
