In our article, Know Your Yarn, Part 1, we talked about the different weights of yarn. Today, in Part 2 of this series, we’re going to discuss Superwash and Non-Superwash yarn. 

Kelsey Stephens, owner of Primrose Yarn Company, has come up with a brilliant idea! Her new yarn, Roan, is a combination of 60% superwash yarn and 40% non-superwash wool.

We would like to introduce you to Chicken Coop Dyeworks yarn! New at My Sister Knits this week, you will find it featured on our renovated wall to the left as you enter the shop! We are busily creating samples of this fun yarn so you can see and feel it knit into a project.

At times we want to make a project with machine washable wool.  Socks, baby clothes, and items for children come to mind.  But which machine washable wool do we choose and what exactly does machine washable mean?
