 Olympia Chunky by Texere YarnsThis gorgeous yarn is spun from 100% lambswool and is available in the most delectable range of colourways. Olympia is a chunky, roving style yarn with glorious combinations creating marls and subtle colour blends throughout. It has the look of Rowan Colourscape or Noro Iro which are both chunky yarns, so you could knit to these patterns or any chunky pattern, just check your tension first. Being pure wool Olympia felts brilliantly to create thick, soft felted pieces. The yarn isn't a slub, but has a handspun feel with thicker and thinner sections to create a fabulous, slightly textured finish, meaning every garment will be unique. There can also be quite an amazing variation from batch to batch, so please ensure you order enough to complete your project as orders will be picked by eye because there are no dye lots. As with any colourspun yarn it is not possible use the air-splicing technique so the occasional knot will occur.

 C4 Linen CollectionThis is a fabulous recycled pure linen yarn in lots of fabulous colours with a healthy discount when buying bulk quantities. An excellent yarn for weaving in the warp and weft, macrame and braiding, knitting and crochet. This strong yarn is also excellent for braids and tassels and any project needing a strong yarn in rich, muted shades or subtle neutrals. The yarn is fairly crisp and has little drape making it excellent for knitting or crocheting into vessels, placements and bags.
However, knit or crochet it into garments, throw in the washing machine and tumble drier and it transforms into a soft, wearable yarn. We've also designed a brilliant string bag to create your very own "bag for life". One spool will make two bags - see the patterns section of the site for more details.
Originally this yarn was 4 fold 10's metric. However, there were only 5 shades (Connemara) and there was demand for more colours. We have now added more, but some of these recent yarns are finer than the originals. This means that the yarns may, in some cases, be of differing thicknesses from colour to colour - equivalent to approx 10/4 - 10/3nm and the meterage per spool is between 900m-1200m.
**Although we will continue making this yarn as long as we have the raw material, we cannot always guarantee that colours will be identical from batch to batch**

 Penguin CottonWe 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.

Click for full colour range |  White Rose Mohair by Texere YarnsThis is a glorious, smooth and lustrous 98% mohair yarn (with just 2% nylon that's added when spinning) that has never left Yorkshire! The angora goats live on a farm less than 50 miles from Texere Yarns and live a happy life roaming around the farm getting shorn twice a year when their hair gets to about 150mm in length. (This is as free range and organic as it gets!) There are no air miles here, just a little journey round West Yorkshire as the fibre is scoured and carded in Halifax, spun in Bradford, dyed in Huddersfield, balled in Wakefield, then it's sold from our mill back here in Bradford! The yarn has a lovely handle - it's soft, strong, warm and nowhere near as hairy as traditional brushed mohair. Knit or crochet to most DK patterns, but just double check your tension first.

 Willow by Texere - 70% merino wool and 30% fine alpaca**Buy 10 Balls for £37**
We don't know the exact origin of this yarn, other than it was destined for the organic range of a very well known yarn company. It's a luxurious blend of 70% merino wool and 30% fine alpaca giving a lovely handle. We believe that it has been organically grown and dyed naturally using sustainable plant dyes - hence the soft palette of muted, natural shades. The yarn is a heavy DK and this could be the problem - not a standard ply. However, a bit of tweaking of any double knitting pattern and you should be fine.
**This yarn is a "Special Purchase" and we bought everything that was available from our supplier - there is no way of obtaining more stocks. Please contact us if you need stock information**

As the yarns are so different from each other the fibre content is a wide spectrum of viscose, polyester and acrylic blends.
The yarns are full of texture and character as there are loops, gimps, ribbons, chenilles, slubs and tasselly bits throughout!
It is impossible to give a meterage for each yarn as they are so different, but they are probably anywhere between 100m - 200m per cone.
Perfect to add drama and texture to embroidery, tassels, weaving and knitting. Two of the collection are the last few kilos of discontinued fancy BMS yarns. These are the 82% Mohair Hedgerow and the Kid Mohair and Silk blend of Cocoon - two fantastic yarns at a fraction of their original
