2/30 Gemstone Silk Yarn description:
Halcyon Yarn's Gemstone Silks are simply the highest quality silks for weaving or knitting. Our silks are a great value in several weights and rich gorgeous colors. Luster, color and beauty... like gemstones spun into a perfect silk yarn. As precious and faceted as their namesake minerals Halcyons Gemstone 100% silks capture light and add dimension to textiles.
The Gemstone Silk 2/30 is our lightest weight silk and is one of the finest lace weight silks available. A perfect plied silk yarn for weaving lightweight yardage or for combining with heavier yarns to add strength and luster. Gemstone Silk 2/30 is available in economical 1,600 yard hanks or in convenient 250 yard mini cones.
Made of the finest Chinese silk fibers, spun in Switzerland, and dyed in the United States, these silk yarns exceed the highest standards. Silk has minimal shrinkage and very little elasticity, it is also extremely strong. Whether you are weaving silk yardage or knitting a silk scarf you will be amazed by the elegance or every piece you make from silk. Gemstone skeins are hank skeins and will need to be rewound to balls or spools before use.
Using Silk in Knitting: The luster is lovely, but the inelasticity may be a challenge eased by choosing textured stitches, and patterns which feature hems, picot or crocheted edges rather than ribs. Or blend with a soft wool or wool silk combination for ribbings. Be creative and do gauge swatches to find the best match (usually fingering to sport). Avoid highly contoured patterns as detail will tend to disappear.
Using Silk in Weaving: Since silk does not full or fill out, use a denser sett than for wools. Gemstone Silks are wonderful combined with fine wools or blends, we recommend Jaggerspun wools.
Care: We recommend dry cleaning. After testing a swatch, you can try hand washing, and then rolling in a towel and hanging to remove dampness. Do not soak. For strongly contrasting colors we recommend steaming or wet finishing with clear cool water. Detergents may cause darker colors to run.

Halcyon Yarn Rug Wool description:
Our rug yarn stands the test of time: Halcyon Yarn Signature Classic Rug Wool is a sturdy, beautiful and versatile wool rug yarn. Made from 100% certified New Zealand wool, with a firm, even twist, Halcyon Yarn's exclusive 3-ply wool rug yarn is custom spun and dyed in the finest family-run spinning mills and dye houses. The durable wool fiber is perfect for creating beautiful and stylish wool rugs and tapestries. Our Classic Rug Wool yarn is available in nearly 100 colors, the broad color palette offers both solid colors and heathered colors and is an enduring favorite among rug weavers. A great yarn for rugs, tapestries, hooked, knitted or crocheted projects. Halcyon Yarn Rug Wool is easy to hand-dye with Earthues Natural, Wash Fast Acid or Country Classic dyes for more subtle coloration. Since our rug wool is 100% wool it will felt so it's great for knitted or crocheted rugs made loosely and then felted for an extra sturdy finish. Our Classic Rug Wool comes in hefty 100 gram hanks or in 55" strands perfect for accents. Rug Wool is mothproofed for longevity.
Weavers:
Recommended Warps: 100% Worsted Wool Warp (Item #110 or #111) and 100% Linen Soft Finish Warp (Item #112).
Recommended Setts:

Suggested Weft Amounts: Plain Weave: Allow 1 - 1.5 skeins per square foot. Twill & Boundweave: Allow 1.5 - 2 skeins per square foot. These weft allowances are adequate for a tight, weft faced weave.

Halcyon Deco Rug Wool Bulky Yarn description:
Deco Rug Wool is a favorite 100% wool rug yarn for rug weavers. Halcyon Yarn's Signature Deco Rug Wool is a sleek and sturdy 3-ply rug wool. Deco is a lighter weight but still rugged version of our 3-ply Classic Rug Wool (item #001). Deco rug yarn is 100% wool dyed on white for crisp, clear color. The classic beauty and durability of Halcyon's Rug Wool in smaller sizes make both Deco and Geo (item #003) rug wools extremely versatile yarns for everything from woven rugs and tapestries to knitted bags, outerwear and punched or hooked pieces. Geo is dyed in the same colors as Deco but on a natural heathered single ply grey for softer, muted colors. The Deco/Geo color range is ideal for mixing and matching, blending and shading. Try double stranding two similar colors to create distinctive tonal effects and custom colors. Deco and Geo are essentially the same size yarn so you can play with both color and surface appearance by using both in the same project.
Deco is a perfect yarn for rug hooking or punching. We recommend two skeins (8 oz) per square foot. Great for woven or knitted outerwear, Deco rug wool softens after washing and is suitable for felting. Deco Rug Wool is mothproofed for longevity.
Weavers:
Recommended sett for balanced weave: Tabby: 6 ends per inch. Twill: 8 ends per inch. Recommended sett for weft faced: Use 4 - 6 epi (single or doubled) in 3 or 4-ply wool or linen warp. Recommended weft allowances for weft faced: Plain weave: 4-6 ounces per square foot. Twill & Boundweave: 5-8 ounces/square foot
Knitters & Crocheters: Deco knits nicely at 3 to 3.5 stitches per inch on a size 10 or 10.5 knitting needle. Crocheters will want to use a size K - M crochet hook.
Rug Hooking & Punching: We recommend approximately 2 skeins (8 oz) per square foot.
For a very durable and attractive whip-stitched biding on the edge of your rug 1 skein of Deco will whip approximately 270 inches.

Medium Brown Alpaca Top details:
• Fiber content: Alpaca
Medium Brown Alpaca Top description:
Alpacas are domesticated animals of the South American Andes. Their fiber is stronger than most wools and has a silky soft touch. Due to its strength, garments made from alpaca wear well. Staple lengths range from 8-18 inches. For a lofty yarn hold your fiber loosely and add just enough twist to keep the fiber together. Too much twist and your yarn will become wiry.

• Fiber content: 100% Yak
Yak Down Fiber description:
Yak fiber is comparable to cashmere, angora, or camel. It is the downy undercoat that sheds off during the spring. The relatively short staple (1 inch), 17 micron fiber does not make this difficult to spin as it has great crimp and is not slippery. You will end up with a lofty yarn.
