Ashford Tekapo Yarn
Ashford Tekapo Yarn 100% pure New Zealand Corriedale yarn is a semi worsted yarn especially designed for softness and strength. The texture is lofty and top quality fibres have been chosen to give the yarn that special sheen associated with world class knitwear. The yarn will not pill so that your knitwear will stay looking great for a long time. However, this yarn will shrink for the current craft of knit-to-felt projects.
Needle size is 4 - 4.5mm with a tension of 20 stitches and 26 rows to 10cm over stocking stitch.
Ball of 100g. Buy 500g of the same colour and save money.
This yarn is also great for use in weaving.
For FREE knitting patterns using this yarn see www.ashford.co.nz/yarns/yarns-frameset.htm

A good, tough, natural coloured, recycled pure linen ideal for use as a warp, knotting and macrame. 100% Pure Natural Linen. The weights of these vary from batch to batch along with the colour and character which may be lighter or darker, smooth or hairy, hence the necessity for stating a wide ranging meterage of yarn on these cones. Please ensure you order enough linen to complete your project as we cannot guarantee that the next batch will be exactly the same. If you require a regular, repeatable linen we suggest choosing the Dublin which is made with first quality linen.
Fine twist - minimum 400g - over 1500m - approx 18 ends per inch
Suitable for home dyeing - you will receive a slightly muted shade as the linen has quite a lot of natural colour, but this makes for interesting, subtle effects.
Fantastic for any job needing a strong yarn whether in the garden or around the house. Use for macrame, knotting crafts, braids, tassels and all types of weaving.
