| Arkade scarf made by Sandy with Woolfolk Får |
"The presence of coarse fibers in wool create “prickle”-- the main
obstacle to wearing and working with wool. Most wool products have a high
percentage of over 30 microns - the diameter measure of a strand of fiber.
Ultimate Merino® has a micron count of 17.5, and combines the hand of cashmere
with the wear of merino. The long cylindrical fibers, with a surface that is
smoother due to elongated, flat scales, reflect light and absorb dye better
than elliptical fibers, resulting in lustrous yarns with deep and lasting hues."
Yarns
By Design currently stocks three Woolfolk yarns: Får, Sno and
Tynd. Får is a chainette structure, worsted weight and 142 yards per
skein. Tynd is fingering weight, 223 yards per skein. Sno is Tynd's sidekick-coming in the same weight, structure, and feel but in a two toned marled
version.
Woolfolk patterns are also a delight to use. They are both practical and cosmopolitan.
Co-owner Sandy has already finished two scarves made with Woolfolk. One is the long and luxurious Arkade scarf made with Får, the other is a design by Sandy which she calls the London Calling Wrap, made by using a double strand of both Tynd and Sno. Natalie knitted the Morning Walk Hat also using both Tynd and Sno.
