Yarn Bases & Ideas

(current base stock in green)

All products to be sold in 100g skeins unless otherwise specified.
I'd like to do a line of dk yarns for colorwork in smaller skeins, to be bundled with a mitten pattern.

	SUPERWASH SOCK:
	Swish (superwash/nylon) from KnitPicks - 462 yds [$6.29/100g >> $20 retail] The quality isn't great; I find it squishes too much, and I only like it on 0 and smaller needles. No shine, either. It's cheap, but I don't think it's worth it

50	Sockittome (superwash/nylon) from Indie Dyer (ordered 50 skeins on clearance sale; discontinued; try select) [$7.00/100g >> $22 retail] 80/20 superwash mix; 450 yds in 100g Note total shipping on 50 skeins was $65, or $.70 per skein:( But I think the higher quality is going to make it worth it in the end. Use this for the Phat Fiber box?

	Supersock from Indie Dyer [$8.75/4oz >> $25 retail?] Note: if shipping is the same, this ends up to be close to $10/skein, but the skeins are fat; reskein at 100g? $7.75/100g >> $24 retail. Same-ish price point, but better for me.

1 lb (2@8oz)	Zohar from Dharma [$17.65 / 8oz] fingering 65% superwash / 35% rayon of bamboo]

1 cone	Kona from Catnip [$31.50 / lb] Henry's Attic Superwash merino; 493 yds/100g

	SUPERWASH DK/WORSTED:
	Swish Worsted from Knitpicks - 220 yds [$6.49/100g >> $20 retail] Re-skein in 50g hanks and price at $11 ea?

	Swish DK from KnitPicks - 246 yds [$6.49/100g >> $20 retail] For solids intended for colorwork; re-skein in 25g hanks, priced at $5 ea

	OTHER/SPECIAL:
	KP Gloss fingering (merino & silk) - 440 yds [$6.99/100g >> $25 retail] Not everyone's a fan, but I like this -- at least the look of it. Will have to order some more to test. Shipping is free at KP with a minimum, so the price is pretty good.

	KP merino lace - 880 yds [$4.79/100g >> $18 retail]

	Pony from Dharma (extrafine merino) - 1785 yds / 227 g [$6.50/100g >> $25 retail] Sell exclusively in 100g skeins? Will have to see how it arrives. Dharma is cheaper than Catnip on this.

1	Skacel Merino Lace [$15.99/100g]

	FELTING:
	Lamb's Pride Bulky from Dharma [$4.46/100g >> $18 retail]

10	Reynolds Lopi [$6/100g at Mass Ave] 100% Icelandic Wool - natural/oatmeal color

	Simply Wool Bulky from Indie Dyer - 232 yds [$6.50/4oz >> $24 retail] Note: these are a little fatter than my normal 100g skeins, about 113g. But would anyone pay $12 per 100 yds for feltable wool?
