NEW IN | Vintage

Vintage by DHG offers a lush blend of alpaca and Merino wool carefully blown into a soft cotton core. The result is an elegant and luxurious yarn with a delightful fluffy character.

With its chainette construction the yarn is incredibly light in hand, while the bulky gauge ensures you’ll have projects completed in a jiff.

Best suited to hand-knit fabrics, Vintage will impart an enduring aesthetic for timeless wardrobe pieces.

Sunny Summer Hues | Ch'ichi

Featuring alpaca, linen and bamboo with soft tweedy flecks, Mirasol’s Ch’ichi is a somewhat unusual blend.

We adore the alpaca for its softness and warmth, the linen for its drape, the bamboo for its luminance and the tweed for adding a rustic touch.

So, is it a winter yarn, a summer yarn, a rustic yarn? Perhaps something in between!

In a palette of delightfully sunny summer hues, we think this curious yarn will brighten any mood.
