Yarn Base Comparison

We love soft yarn, which is why every base begins with 19.5-micron extrafine Superwash Merino. Chosen for its next-to-skin comfort, elasticity, and exceptional color uptake, this fiber forms the foundation of our entire range.

From there, fibers are thoughtfully blended and spun to create yarns that balance softness, structure, and wearability, each base is tailored to a specific weight, ply, and purpose.

The result is a cohesive family of yarns that feel gentle against the skin, wear beautifully over time, and showcase hand-dyed color with depth and clarity.
