The Yarn options:

Each kit comprises of 24 mini skeins in your choice of yarn.

You will have the choice of 1 (or more) optional semi solid skeins to complement the main colour of the kit.

Darjeeling sock yarn

Weight & Length

4 ply sock or fingering yarn. 100 gms gives you 400 metres - mini skeins are 20+ gms (hand wound from the larger skeins).

Darjeeling sock yarn: 80% Australian Merino & 20% nylon

A soft smooth sock base that dyes up like a dream into anything I can dream up! A soft but firm sock base with good stitch definition.

It is recommended that you hand wash in cool to luke warm water with a wool wash to prevent dissociating. Slight bleeding may occur but should not effect the final colour. The merino is superwash but the dyes can dissociate in hot water (hence the need to wash in cool water).

Jasmin f

4 ply silk/merino non superwash yarn. 100gms gives you 400 metres - mini skeins are 20 + gms (hand wound from the larger skeins).

Introducing Jasmin, an exquisite blend of luxury and warmth, meticulously crafted for discerning fibre enthusiasts. This enchanting yarn harmoniously combines the softness of 50% fine merino wool with the lustrous beauty of 50% mulberry silk, resulting in a truly exceptional fibre experience.

Jasmin yarn embodies elegance and sophistication, making it ideal for creating luxurious garments and accessories. The merino wool, renowned for its gentle touch and insulating properties, provides warmth and comfort, while the mulberry silk adds a captivating sheen and a touch of indulgence.

Crafted without the superwash treatment, Jasmin retains the natural qualities of its premium fibres. It offers excellent stitch definition, showcasing intricate patterns with clarity and precision. Its non-superwash nature ensures that the yarn retains its structural integrity and resilience, making it a delight to work with and ensuring lasting beauty in your finished creations.

Whether you're knitting or crocheting, Jasmin will transform your projects into heirloom-quality pieces that exude elegance and grace. Allow Jasmin yarn to inspire your imagination and elevate your craft to new heights.

There is one lot of postage to be paid on each shipment. These will weigh 600 grams plus a couple of gifts and packaging, so I will be trying hard to keep these packages under 1 kilo .

This year I will try to set up a chat in the GTY Facebook Group to discuss patterns, progress and anything else that seems pertinent to the kit. This is intended to make things social and fun but I totally understand if you don't want to participate.
