Jura by Texere - wool & nylon mix
Jura 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 range of bright and soft shades all with a natural soft lustre. Jura is particularly good for weaving in both the warp and weft (with approx 9 ends per com or 22 ends per inch), and is also ideal for tapestry and tablet weaving. It will make strong braids and cords and will knit or crochet into vessels, bags and throws. 2/6wc, 7/2nm or approx 4ply with 320m per cone, making it similar, but much thicker than Islay.

**Whilst Jura is a yarn we can continue to buy on a regular basis, we are not always able to repeat exact shades from batch to batch, so order enough for your project as there are no dye lots, and some shades my go out of stock for some time.

Sari Ribbon by Louisa Harding
Saris are exotic, colourful and sparkling as reflected in this combination of 90% polyamide & 10% nylon. This is a fantastic knitting yarn from Louisa Harding that really captivated us and the combination of glitter threads and gossamer ribbon is a winner without being flimsy. Sari is excellent for making into accessories and clothing and works really well woven through soft mohair scarves. Although it is primarily a knitting yarn, just imagine it couched into an embroidery or combined into weaves, braids or tassels - wow!

Wendy Chic
Chic is spun from a combination of 60% nylon, 30% polyester and 10% metalised polyester, which doesn't sound very inspiring until you see what that means! This lovely eyelash yarn is made in some fantastic combinations, both subtle and dramatic and all are interspersed with long strands of glitter making it really luxurious. There are patterns available for scarves & shrugs and a white wedding collection of accessories. It's also brilliant to add decoration and embellishment to weaves, embroideries & tassels.

**This yarn has been discontinued by our suppliers, so unfortunately when it's gone it's gone. Please contact us if you need stock information**

Starbright Infinity by Creative Yarns
Unfortunately the company who supply us with this yarn are no longer trading, so when it's gone, it's gone I'm afraid. We still have stocks of all the shades shown and we'll try and keep the website up to date as we sell out of shades.
Starbright is a fantastic ladder yarn constructed from 94% nylon and 6% Lurex. It may be familiar to you as it's very similar to Sirdar Firefly which is now discontinued. Starbright is available on bigger balls, but the main difference is the Lurex which runs throughout the yarn adding a lovely twinkling effect. Knit into delicate scarves and shrugs or combine with beads for contemporary jewellery. If you have any old Firefly patterns it will knit up to them perfectly. One ball will make a long, lacy scarf.

Whisper Ribbon
A light and soft tubular chainette nylon ribbon.
00% Nylon. Available in two packages - a 6g spool of approx. 50m or a 50g cone of approx 380m. Hand wash and dry flat.
A most unique yarn for many types of work. Try knitting or weaving to produce very light, meshlike fabrics or embellish embroideries for a whispy, airy effect in skies, water, clouds etc.
The ribbon is 6mm wide, tubular and transparent, so ideal for filling with another yarn that can be seen through. This can then be ruched and manipulated.
Perfect for dyeing with an acid dye as you would dye wool.
