This LUSCIOUS aran weight alpaca blend is soft, fluffy, squishy, and yummy!  In gorgeous, sophisticated colors that don't compete with the hazy fluff of the yarn, you'll breeze through the softest sweaters and accessories ever!  This might even be the dreamiest blanket yarn you've ever seen!  We're crazy about this one because it looks and feels amazing -- it's the softest

If you're at all familiar with Rowan's Haze yarns, you know you're in for a treat.  And if you find mohair to be a bit . . .itchy, then you'll fall in love with this delicious ball of fluff. A bit fatter than a traditional laceweight mohair, this yarn has a beautiful haze and adds just a BIT more heft to a carry-along project, and is substantial enough on it's own to make a dreamy sweater or shawl.  Perfect to add a soft fluff to an otherwise rather boring yarn, or for a practical, crushable cardigan, Alpaca Haze is smoother, softer, and fluffier than you'd ever dream

We love a good sweater yarn and this is a GOOD sweater yarn!  Scout from Kelbourne Woolens is a classic, traditional DK weight wool with a gorgeous heathery color vibe and a Highland wool appearance, but a softer hand than a traditional Scottish wool.  We love the vibe of this yarn, the feel of this yarn, and the look of this yarn and we think you'll love it too!  Perfect for sweaters, whether solid, striped, or stranded, but also a cozy yarn for a wrap, cowl, or shawl. In a versatile DK weight that's perfect for southern winter weather.

A DK weight, 2 ply heathered wool designed with classic knitting and crochet in mind, Scout is yarn for the sake of yarn. Perfect for garments, Scout is put up in a generous 100 gram, 274 yard hank. It is unfussy, beautiful, high-quality, and comes in a gorgeous color palette.

As with the Highland wool in Andorra, the wool in Scout is a cross between Corriedale and Merino. It is not as soft as Merino, but it is stronger and adds durability to the yarn. Scout is also unique in that it is a heather, meaning multiple colors are pre-blended prior to spinning to create a shade with a lot of depth and variation. Natural is the one exception to this – it is the undyed white shade of wool

Woolfolk is one of our favorite companies for their ethical practices, sustainability, and for the unbelievable feeling of their yarn. Woolfolk Flette is a new kind of boucle yarn. Using modern technology, Woolfolk has found a way to make the gorgeous texture of boucle a dream to work with. Made of the highest micron grade of wool, this yarn has a stunning texture and a dreamy soft hand feel. It's perfect for accessories and accents, but it also makes a fabulous cardigan or pullover that you'll wear all Fall and Winter and get nothing but compliments on!

Linen tape is a magical yarn, and this hand-dyed, lightly variegated version is simply fabulous. An owner favorite, this yarn is smooth and soft to the touch, with a cool hand and none of the stiffness of wet spun linen that you may have used before. Sturdy, but with great drape and a touch of natural sheen, this is a yarn that is perfectly suited to Chattanooga's temperate climate. It's breathable and light for summer tanks but has enough weight to make a perfect 3 season pullover or cardigan. It wears beautifully without pilling and just gets softer over time.
