Vintage Button on the Laoshan base is a muted teal-grey with gentle tonal shifts that give it a soft, weathered look. The cotton and merino blend highlights the colour’s natural depth, making it an elegant choice for summer garments and lightweight projects.
Laoshan:
This new 4 ply base is a blend of cotton and merino, designed with summer knitting in mind. With 400 metres to 100 grams, it offers the lightness of cotton paired with the softness and bounce of merino. The mix makes for breathable fabrics with a gentle drape, perfect for warm-weather tops, lightweight cardigans, and accessories.
The cotton content takes up dye in a different way to pure wool bases, giving the colours a slightly more muted, heathered appearance, while the merino lends depth and subtle shading. The result is a fabric with a soft, natural look that stands apart from your usual 4 ply yarns.
Smooth and easy to work with, this base brings fresh possibilities to your summer projects—cool to wear, soft against the skin, and beautiful in colour.
If you want a yarn that breathes beautifully without clinging to you like a damp dishcloth in the heat - this is your yarn!! 50/50 merino–cotton is the Goldilocks of summer yarns. Light, soft, breathable - perfect for warm days & cool evenings. The bounce & softness of the merino teamed with cottons breathability & crisp stitch definition makes a dream team for summer tops & cardigans.
This colour is just gorgeous - subtle & cool! I can't wait to get knitting!
