Islay is spun from 90% wool with 10% nylon for strength making it an excellent yarn for all types of crafts. It is available in a wide range of bright colours with a gentle hint of natural lustre. Islay is particularly good for weaving in both the warp and weft, and is also ideal for tapestry and tablet weaving. It will make strong braids and cords and can be used for different types of jewellery and knotting. Knit or crochet into very fine wraps, throws and accessories. 2/18wc, 20/2nm or approx 1ply (or laceweight) with 1820m per cone, making it similar, but much finer than Jura.

 | Penguin Cotton
We have had lots of enquiries for fine cotton and here is a special purchase of limited supplies of both ercerised and soft cotton yarns. The Emperor mercerised is very similar to Perle 12.
100% Pure Cotton
2/16cc - 1350m per cone. Both yarns are exactly the same count, however the mercerised looks slightly thinner as it has a slightly tighter twist.
The Emperor is perfect for weaving in the warp or weft and we would recommend the King for weft. Both will give you soft, lightweight fabrics with a lovely drape. Also excellent for delicate lacemaking and embroidery, crochet and knitting, braids and tassels.
As we bought the yarn from a company called Penguin we have named the mercerised cotton "Emperor" and the soft cotton "King" for clear identification.
