yarns spun for weaving

These yarns are spun from the best Mongolian fibre, mostly by Johnstons of Elgin, originally for weaving, typically into those gorgeous cashmere fabrics that only get softer with age and wear. For this reason they are tight spun, which means they are stronger and wear better than softer spun yarns but of course not as soft and fluffy (they are for the weft naturally, the softer bit). The singles have an unbalanced twistiness that can be a challenge to a knitter, though a challenge that can be worked around, the 2/28 lace weights are of course balanced and these two ply yarns tend to be more open and softer. They bloom mostly with wear, not much on initial washing. For hand weavers, superb yarns, but the gorgeous heathered colors on most also make them worthwhile for knitters to try..... the thicker yarns also sometimes have a softer slubby structure..


1/13NM soft weaving singles b3004 (211)

Although we have listed this in weaving yarns as that was its original purpose it is actually quite soft spun. It comes direct from Johnstons of Elgin. We will twist up multiple plies of this yarn to give a roughly balanced thicker yarn, for free (twisting of already plied yarns, such as 2/28NM, costs $5 per cone).

of course just because this yarn was made for weaving doesn't mean it isn't still great for knitting, especially when twisted up thicker...

1/13NM soft spun weaving singles b5008 (210)

Although we have listed this in weaving yarns, as that was its original purpose, it is actually realtively soft spun. It was spun by Johnstons of Elgin. We will twist up multiple plies of this yarn - and/or multiple colors - to give a roughly balanced thicker yarn, for free (twisting of already plied yarns, such as 2/28NM, costs $5 per cone).

of course just because this yarn was made for soft weaving doesn't mean it isn't just as good for knitting, especially when twisted up thicker...

various yarn weights for weaving

1/14NM and 2/28NM yarns, about the middle thickness of this collection give 2,300 yards per cone, 7,000 yards per lb, and should give around 32-36 stitches on a 4 inch swatch, using US 2-5, 2.5-3.75 mm needles. Please add your experiences with these yarns (especially with pictures!) below. You can find articles about knitting and washing these yarns in our Knowledge Base section.. Some of the yarns in this section vary from the 1/14NM thickness, if so it says so in the individual description...

Note that we will wind multiple plies of these yarns onto cone for no extra charge, just let us know how many plies when you pay...

We will also TWIST multiple plies of the singles together to give a balanced or nearly balanced yarn for FREE (we charge for twisting for already balanced yarns such as the 2/28s).
