Bases

We carefully select our bases for dyeing. At the moment we obtain our yarns from manufacturers in Great Britain and Germany. The fibres are sourced mainly from South American (Argentina, Patagonia and Uruguai). All bases are mulesing free.

Most of our yarns are superwash qualities. It not only makes the dyeing process easier, it also allows for more brilliant colours and provides yarns that that are more hard-wearing and colours that are long-lasting. (Even though superwash yarns can be washed in the machine, we recommend a cold hand wash because it makes your project more durable.) Nevertheless, we will introduce more and more non-superwash yarns, because we all love them so much: One of these is our Reggae Alpaca.
