The thinnest yarns in our range, both for knitting and crochet, can be found in this category. It's a yarn that lends itself extremely well to projects with pattern and structured knitting, and especially the different shapes and patterns of lace are beautiful and prominent in the thin, lightweight yarn.
Create beautiful textiles with the thin threads alone, or use them with yarns in other qualities and categories to create a beautiful, mottled play of colour in your projects. There's a world of possibilities for using the beautiful yarns in this category, and they're also in line with the trend for leftover knits that many of the world's great knitwear designers are working on. Use your 2-ply yarn as a companion thread to tie all your leftover yarns together into a unique project.
2-ply cotton yarn
Cotton yarn of this thickness is what most would categorize as crochet yarn. It's the go-to yarn if you're crocheting lace or making lace the old-fashioned way.
When you choose a 2-ply cotton yarn, you are also getting a yarn with great strength and durability.
If you want to knit with cotton yarns in this category, you will also need the smallest needles; for a close knit result, use needle size 2-2.5. At the same time, if you're working on a larger project, you'll also need a lot of stitches on the needles, as 30-40 stitches are needed in 10 cm.
2 skeins of wool yarn
The 2-ply wool yarn has many exciting uses. It is a yarn that can easily stand alone if you want to knit light, transparent projects. It's also a category that encourages you to knit with double thread to get all the beautiful properties of the thinner threads, but achieve a more dense result without the many stitches.
Another very popular use for the thinner qualities is to use them as a companion yarn with a thicker yarn to achieve either a mottled effect or to take advantage of the fine, hairy quality of the mohair/silk blend that is extremely fashionable these years.
Everything is better with mohair, so why not spice up your next project with a lovely mohair/silk companion yarn for a little extra luxury and elegance.
