Mango Moon yarns are all fairly traded yarns spun in Nepal and Indonesia. This unusual yarn is made from 68% acrylic, 28% nylon and 4% Spandex. It has been created to knit with another yarn to add softness, memory, stretch, and bounce - specifically Recycled Sari Silk is the first choice, but try other non-stretchy yarns like cotton. You can also knit it as approx 1ply on it's own to create light, stretchy fabrics. Springy Capelli has a twisted, springy, slightly loopy effect and is available in a range of bright and pale shades.

 | 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!

 | Snarl Yarn
Snarl is a most unusual yarn made from polyester and spun into a spiky, textured thread. Knit by hand as approx 4ply or use in the weft (resultant count 3.5nm) to give really interesting results when weaving. It's also brilliant for adding fabulous effects to braids as the spikes twist around the braid and can contrast really well against smoother, shinier threads. It can produce interesting results when couched down into embroideries or trapped within layers of felt. An all round great yarn, but buy now as we have limited supplies!

 | 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.
