Knit Collage Yarns

Wheels & Wool is happy to announce that we’re now carrying the most beautiful yarns from Knit Collage! Take a peek at their site knitcollage.com for inspiration and ideas! These beautiful yarns are made by hand and no 2 skeins are the same.

From The Founders of the company:

Knit Collage yarns are vibrant handspun creations that reflect our happy approach to the world. Bits of ribbons, sequins, or flower appliqués are spun together with brightly colored wool, mohair and glittering Angelina fibers. We love natural fibers and primarily use wool and mohair in the yarns. Our wool fibers are from Australia, where we choose the best quality available from non-museled sheep. The mohair comes all the way from South Africa, where there is a rich history of gorgeous mohair fibers. In some of our yarns, we also use a teeny amount of sparkly fibers called Angelina, that are made from polyester. These fibers come in a large range of iridescent and glittery colors form the USA.

The spinning process is enormously time intensive. To spin one skein of our yarn, it takes the spinner around 2 or more hours. On top of the spinning, all of the fibers you see in our yarns are also hand dyed and hand carded. Some colorways have over 10 different fiber colors carded together to achieve the final result. This creates a beautiful melange look that is impossible to duplicate on machine. Even though the raw materials are the same, no two skeins are completely alike because of the intense handmade process that goes into each and every skein.

Cast Away yarn comes in a gorgeous range of hand carded and handspun colors. In some colorways over 10 fibers colors are all tediously carded together. The finished result is a beautiful melange of colors in a super soft thick and thin textured yarn.

Cast Away is similar to our Pixie Dust yarn but smaller in yarn size, knitting up on US size 11-15 needles. Some of the colorways have sparkling Angelina fibers in them and are denoted by the word Sparkle at the end of their color name.

Even though the raw materials are the same, no two skeins are completely alike because of the intense handmade process that goes into each and every skein. By supporting the Knit Collage business, you support the work of the Indian women that spin our yarns with as well as our women-run, US based small business!
