The difference between Pure New Wool and regular wool
Pure new wool comes from the first shearing of live sheep, ensuring high purity and quality. Regular wool can come from both first and older shearings. Regular wool can often be a blend of different wool types or synthetic fibers, resulting in a coarser texture.
Pure new wool undergoes strict quality control to ensure it is free from impurities. Many manufacturers place great emphasis on animal welfare during production. It is known for its luxurious feel and long durability. This makes it a popular choice for knitting and crochet enthusiasts who want high quality. This type of wool is ideal for projects such as scarves, hats and sweaters that require both style and comfort. Pure new wool is the obvious choice for those who want better quality and longer life for their projects.
Super Kid Mohair
Super kid mohair is an exclusive yarn quality made from the finest and softest mohair from the first shearing of Angora goats. This type of mohair is known for its silky texture and light structure. This makes the fibers a sought-after choice among knitting and crochet enthusiasts who want luxurious materials. The fibers are very thin, which gives the yarn an almost weightless feel. In addition, it has a beautiful shine and natural elasticity.
Super kid mohair is often used as a filler in combination with other yarn qualities. When combined with wool and alpaca, it adds extra volume and texture to knitted projects. It gives a sophisticated and dreamy look to finished creations such as feminine sweaters and elegant accessories. Although the yarn has a fine structure, it is durable and warm. This makes it perfect for garments where a stylish and comfortable creation is desired. Super kid mohair is a favorite among knitters and crocheters who seek both luxury and lightness in their projects.
Baby Alpaca
Our Dandelion Lace yarn grade contains baby alpaca wool. Baby alpaca refers to a special type of alpaca wool that is known for its extraordinary softness and quality. The fibers typically come from the animal's first shearing, but not necessarily from a baby alpaca. The fibers can also come from specific parts of the animal that have thinner and softer fibers. It has a thickness of around 21-23 microns, making it softer than regular alpaca wool, which is typically coarser. It is also strong, lightweight and warmer than sheep's wool, but without feeling heavy.
This fiber is hypoallergenic, making it a good choice for people with sensitive skin or wool allergies. It is popular for knitting lightweight but warm creations like scarves and sweaters where a luxurious and soft feel is desired.
Polyamide
Polyamide is a synthetic fiber known for its impressive durability. It contributes significantly to the strength and elasticity of the yarn. This allows your creations to maintain their shape and quality for a long time, even with daily use.
Additionally, polyamide is resistant to chemicals and UV rays. This makes the yarn a practical choice for outdoor projects, as it can withstand the challenges of sun and moisture. The extra strength polyamide adds makes it ideal for projects that require extra durability, such as clothing and accessories that are used frequently.
