Non-Twist Cotton by Habu is an incredibly soft yarn that feels like a soft merino mixed with cashmere and not like cotton

We were looking for a cotton that could be used for lace work and for fine baby and children’s accessories and this is how we came about Habu’s Non-Twist Cotton.

The yarn has a very subtle crimp, which does not effect the knit or the pattern but the subtle texture of the yarn adds to the softness of the finished fiber.

Root Sizing Silk is made of flat/parallel plied silk thread (10 strands to be exact), that is coated in Konyaku (vegetable root) sizing to protect the fiber as it is worked, which gives it a ribbon like look. When we worked with Root Sizing Silk it felt something like working with a paper-linen-ribbon yarn that is somewhat stiff and may be a little crunchy-like. But the real surprise for this yarn comes after it has been washed in warm water with mild soap. This is when the sizing washes out and the yarn becomes soft, feels great next to skin and drapes beautifully.

Root Sizing Silk may seem like a plain yarn but has a beautiful sheen and once washed it turns into something different and even more so unique and lovely. It also works perfectly as a warp yarn.

If you would like to try this yarn for a small project we would recommend a 3 skein scarf for something unique and beautiful.
 

Extremely soft and fine merino. Great as warp and weft weaving yarn. Beautiful knitted in a single strand or 2-3 strands together. 1-1.5 ounces will make a lovely scarf. Handwash only.
 

A beautiful 100% silk with a tweedy rustic look.
 

4 strands of fine merino is wrapped in super fine silk. Because it is wrapped, not plied, the colors show in a very subtle way in between each other. Has a good stretch. Perfect garment or bag yarn.
 

Instead of the stainless steel, this one is bamboo wrapped in copper wire. It will have the same effect as the other stainless steel yarn, and will create a three dimensional fabric. There is a very subtle glow to the yarn because of the color of the copper. One cone will make a large scarf. A few cones will make a garment.
 

Gima means to "fake linen" in Japanese. It feels like linen, but does soften up greatly as soon as you handle or wash it. Only 3-4 balls of this yarn will make a whole garment. Good warp yarn also
 

Extremely fine silky ramie. Beautiful as a warp and weft yarn for weavers, but also for lace knitters. It adds more depth to the color when you carry a few strands of different colors together. Simple garter stitch will create a wonderful three dimensional fabric.
 

Like linen or wool stainless steel yarns, the core is stainless steel and silk is wrapped around it. Because of the stainless steel, there is shape-memory in this yarn. 4-5 cones will be sufficient for a knitted garment.
