A complete guide to fingering weight yarn, including what it is and how to use it. Plus tips on choosing the right yarn for your project.
This is a compilation of 25 free fingering crochet patterns. These crochet patterns fingering weight yarn to create beautiful pieces to wear.
This is a listing for 3,4, or 5 skein 4ply/fingering weight fade sets. You choose the base and colourway set. Choose from Beaut, a 100% Merino single ply yarn or Chuffed, a 90/10 Merino/Linen single ply. If your pattern calls for one of the colours to be 2 skeins, just pop over to that base and order an additional skein. You can even hold the yarn double for a DK pattern and fade very gradually (like the photo here). Both are fingering-weight / 4ply yarn, each skein is 100g/366m. That's 1830 meters of potential! Currently, all photos are on the Chuffed base.
Each listing is for 1 skein of yarn Available in: -75% Superwash Merino 25% Nylon Fingering Weight 100g/464yd -100% SW Merino Sport 100g/328yds -100% Superwash Merino DK 115g/250yds -100% Superwash Merino Worsted Weight 100g/218yds Pictured in 2 ply Fingering Weight and DK MADE TO ORDER... please take note of shipping times This yarn is kettle dyed by yours truly. Please order enough yarn to finish and complete your project so that your skeins are better matched. If you need more than I have available I will make a separate batch just for you. Just send me a message and I will take care of you. While I try my best to maintain consistency with all of my yarns, I ask that you remember that with hand dyed yarns, no 2 skeins will ever be the same!!! This yarn is incredibly soft, squishy and is a absolute dream to knit with. Great for socks, shawls, scarves, hats, fingerless gloves and anything else you can make with fingering weight yarn. Care Instructions: Machine wash gentle. Lay flat to dry. (Hand washing is STRONGLY recommended to maintain the color and quality of your finished piece.) *NOTES - All companies, including companies who purchase dyed yarns from a mill can have a problem with bleeding or transfer of colors. This mostly occurs in blues and teals, but can occur with any very dark and saturated color. Every effort has been made to ensure that this yarn does not bleed. The color in this yarn has been set BUT you may or may not see an insignificant amount of color exhaust in the water during your first wash but nothing thereafter. This is common with most hand dyed yarns and again, hand washing is strongly suggested to maintain the color and quality of your finished piece. Colors may vary slightly from the picture, due to lighting conditions, computer monitor settings and camera calibration.

This colorway is a Wild Iris, meaning it is a truly unique, non-repeatable color.

Superwash yarn CAN be washed in the machine on a gentle cycle (but not advised), then laid flat to dry. It is recommended to wash your skein before use. This will ensure any extra color will be rinsed out and prevent "bleeding".Due to the nature of hand dyed yarns being unique, the skein you receive may vary slightly from the photo shown. If you have questions about the skein, please contact me and I will answer any questions you may have.

This yarn is superwash wool, but to avoid any shrinking or felting, we suggest that it be hand washed with a mild detergent in room temperature water. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ All our yarn is hand dyed so there may be slight variations between skeins. If you are purchasing more than one skein they will be from the same dye lot. Our passion is dyeing yarn, not photography. But we do try our best to capture the true color of the yarn in each photo. However, colors may be displayed differently depending on the screen you’re viewing it on. Please keep this in mind while making your purchases. If you have any questions, we would love to hear from you! If there is a colorway you love, but not enough in stock, message us and we can arrange a custom dye lot for you.
