We were very sad to learn last fall that the mill where this yarn is spun was closing. We managed to purchase 4 kilos of yarn before they closed, but this spring we'll be dyeing our last batch of Arietta.
Pre-orders for this yarn are now closed, and all pre-ordered yarn will be shipped by May 15. Any yarn that is still available after pre-orders have been filled will be listed here later this spring.
One of our most luxurious yarns, Arietta is a light and airy lace weight wool and silk blend. Its subtle colour variation adds texture and depth to lace knitting, and the generous yardage makes it possible to knit a scarf with just 50g of yarn, or a shawl or stole with 100g.
We recommend using a swift when winding this yarn. If you don't have access to one, we can wind your yarn into cakes before shipping for a small fee.
