Home of Inspiring Ideas & Luxury Yarn
Purlescence is the home of inspiring ideas and luxury yarns and with this in mind, we thought we'd talk a little about the wide range of yarns that we stock and that are available to buy on our website. It's fair to say, our collection ensures we have something for every season, pattern and knitting ability!
Fyberspates Yarn
Fyberspates hand-dyed yarns are luxurious and easy to knit with and come in a fabulous array of colourways and weight.
In Scrumptious, you will find 4 ply and lace. The silk content in this yarn provides a wonderful sheen and drape, making it perfect for gorgeous shawls and stoles.
In Vivacious we have 4 Ply and DK and Gleem is a stunning Lace weight. Vivacious is a fantastic yarn for any project and being superwash it's as tough as they come, therefore, making it ideal for knitwear for any age because it can go straight in the washing machine!>
Jamieson & Smith
Jamieson and Smith produce some of the most outstanding yarns from Shetland.
This yarn is great for Fair Isle projects and any sort of colour work be that a traditional Shetland design or something more contemporary.
SweetGeorgia
"Passionate, relentless, unapologetic colour" is the mantra of SweetGeorgia Yarns - not to mention, shamelessly indulgent textures.
SweetGeorgia Tough Love Sock certainly lives up to it's name. It comes in generous 115g skeins and with just enough nylon to make it the perfect go-to yarn for socks. But the merino makes it soft enough for just about any project, be it garments or accessories.
It's hard to resist the call of SweetGeorgia Yarns!
Coop Knits Socks Yeah!
The 50g skeins and a wide range of colours mean you can let your imagination run riot with stunning colour combinations, be they fancy colourwork or pleasing stripes. And don't let the name fool you, Socks Yeah! is a great yarn, available in both 4 ply and DK, suitable for any type of project, large or small.
