About: Victorian 2-Ply Wool


• 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.
