• simple 2-ply designed for beauty and useability
• softness derived from a slightly softer spin in each ply with a slightly softer twisting of the plies than in many woolen-spun 2-ply yarns
• will soften and loft up even more when washed or fulled
• economical
• a Halcyon Exclusive custom spun yarn
• coordinates with Victorian Mohair and Victorian Boucle, and mixes nicely with a variety of other yarns
• you'll want to use the Victorian Collection yarns again and again!
WEAVERS
• use as warp and weft for shawls, scarves, blankets, and outerwear pieces
• alternate warp or tabby weft with Victorian Boucle or Victorian Brushed Mohair for pattern in overshot or summer and winter
Weaving tip: If you're having trouble maintaining your selvedges in balanced weaves, especially with a soft warp and light tension, try using a strand of Pearl Cotton as a floating selvedge. These threads can be tensioned more tightly than the rest of the warp to maintain width by adding a hanging weight, then pulled out before washing.
KNITTERS
• versatile sport weight yarn for hand and machine knitting
• low pilling adds a long life
• especially nice in multi-color work
Knitting tip: Double-strand any two Victorian styles together on #10.5 needles at 3 sts/inch for a personal “designer” bulky yarn.
