Sarah's Yarns



100% Pure Luxury DK (4-ply) Mongolian Cashmere: this lovely cashmere has an incomparably silky-soft texture. Very easy to work with, and will show your work off beautifully. The nicest thing about Cashmere is that it is very warm, yet very light and soft – and it gets softer as you wash it.

45% Cashmere/55% Silk:
combining the softness of Mongolian cashmere with the sheen of silk, this yarn has an incomparable silk-soft texture after blocking the finished garment using Eucelan.
Incomparably silky-soft texture. Very light and soft, this yarn can be used to create beautiful garments year-round.
Great for yarn dyers!



100% Pure Spun Silk: our 100% Spun Silk will work with any patterns that call for worsted weight yarn. It will keep you incredibly warm in winter, yet knits up into such feathery light garments that it are always a pleasure to wear close to the skin regardless of how warm the weather is.



Kid Mohair Silk: Breathtaking and lustrous fingering weight kid mohair yarn with a silk core. Soft to the touch and a pleasure to work with.
