Want Yarn? The Details

If you're interested in only part of a listed batch, email me.

To place an order: click the checkbox on the right of each item you wish to order. Scroll to the bottom of the item listings, enter your email address and click on "Place order for selected items." You will then have a chance to confirm your order. You will receive an email confirmation. At that time, the yarn is yours once payment is received. If I don't receive payment promptly, your order is subject to cancellation. Note: we don't sell email addresses. The sole purpose for entering it is to provide a means of contacting you (as we don't ask for shipping information until we receive payment).

When an item is ordered, it is removed from the list immediately. If you read about something and don't see it, someone's claimed it. Sales do fall through, so if you're interested, let me know and I can put you on a waiting list for that item.

Description: Paolo Scettri Mosaica is a funky Italian novelty yarn, consisting of 60% wool and 40% acrylic in space-dyed shades of blue, green, and yellow. A black binder thread wraps around the chenille and the wool strand. This yarn was produced by a small Italian manufacturer and imported by Plymouth yarns.

Suggested Gauge: Gauge is unspecified, but US 7-8 needles are recommended.

Recommended Care: Hand wash, lay flat to dry.


Margarita Mercurio - Silver - 8 sk click here 8 $32.00

Description: Lanas Margarita Mercurio is possibly the rarest yarn in my collection. I've never seen it before my purchase nor since. It's a Spanish yarn company, and the yarn is 46% nylon, 29% rayon, 17% polyester, and 8% viscose. This isn't, strictly speaking, a metallic yarn, but it is shiny like one. It'd be cute as a shell, and it is soft enough to wear against one's skin (unlike most metallics).

Yardage: Each skein contains 50 grams and 98 yards; this batch contains 784 yards total.

Suggested Gauge: Gauge isn't specified (I'd guess 5 stitches/inch), but needle size is: US 5-6 needles.

Recommended Care: Hand wash warm; lay flat to dry. Do not iron.


Filatura di Crosa Mouline - Green Marl - 5 sk click here 5 $12.50

Description: Filatura di Crosa's Cotton Mouline is a high-grade 100% cotton. This is an exceptional value -- you can use this yarn alone or with the other group I have in another color. This yarn is priced at less than half its original retail price.

Yardage: Each skein contains 50 grams and 93 yards; this batch contains 465 yards total.

Suggested Gauge: Knits to a gauge of 4-1/4 stitches per inch on US 6-7 needles.

Recommended Care: Hand wash cold (or dry clean); lay flat to dry. Do not iron.

This is a great bargain for a luxury cotton!


Classic Elite Michaela - Blue - 10 sk click here 10 $40.00

Description: Classic Elite Michaela is a vivid, cuddly 100% rayon chenille. Because rayon stretches, this yarn is really only suitableas a stranding yarn (where it's being worked in fairisle with another yarn) or as an accent yarn. I think this would look fabulous as a part of a tumbling blocks patterned-sweater, especially with black and white yarns as the other two colors. One skein in one batch has been rewound into a ball, but it is a full skein. The price for this yarn, while not inexpensive, is dramatically lower than the $10 per skein retail.

Yardage: Each skein contains 50 grams and 132 yards; each batch of 10 skeins contains 1320 yards total. Two batches are available.

Suggested Gauge: Gauge is 5-1/2 stitches per inch on US 5 needles. With some other yarns, you can knit slightly looser than gauge, but that's not recommended for chenilles and especially not rayon chenilles.

Recommended Care: Dry clean only.


Madil Fuff - Red - 5 sk click here 5 $30.00

Description: Madil Fuff is a discontinued wool (63%) polyamide (26%) polyester (11%) blend funky Italian novelty yarn. It consists of a fluffy colored yarn around a black binder. The fluffy yarn has occasional bright blue dots. The blue dots in this batch match with the blue dots in the other batch. This yarn originally sold for $11.49 per skein, so this auction offers an incredible value. Only one of the skeins has a label, but all five skeins are full skeins.

Yardage: Each skein consists of 50 grams and 110 yards. This batch consists of 5 skeins, with a total yardage of 550 yards.

Suggested Gauge: Knits to a gauge of 5 stitches to the inch on US 7 needles, so many existing sweater patterns will be suitable for this yarn.

Recommended Care:Hand wash, lay flat to dry.

Final Note

Yet another note: While no one has asked, I feel it should be said: all yarns have been stored in a non-smoking home. I do have a cat, but he's not allowed near the yarn. I keep all my stash in containers (as you can see). I try to keep yarn in its original bagging where possible, which minimizes any possible allergens.
