Everything Old Yarns and Fibres

The Everything Old line of hand dyed yarns and fibres is focused on bringing spectacular colour together with  luxurious, high quality bases. I choose yarns based on several qualities - softness, wearability, durability, and appearance. I try to keep a diverse range of spinning fibres available as well, and focus on choosing quality preparations that are true to breed and free of felting. I don't sell products that I wouldn't love to work with myself.

Yarn Bases

Stratus:
Stratus is a lovely, soft superwash Merino wool laceweight. It has a slightly loose twist, which enhances the open appearance of delicate lace and gives the knitted fabric a soft hand. It takes colour with gusto!

Witchcraft:
A truly luxurious yarn. Silk, superwash Merino wool, and stellina, a silver synthetic, are blended perfectly for a soft, drapey, and strong laceweight yarn that shines and glitters! Colours appear slightly muted and softened.

This delicious MCN base is lusciously soft with perfect stitch definition and gentle drape. Colours are slightly lighter, but very rich.
