Two Pointy Sticks: The List of Colourways

Please scroll down for yardage, gauge and price information.

A Little Note to All of You:

I want to thank you for your interest in my yarns. It gives me such great pleasure to create these unique colour combinations, and the greatest joy of all is knowing that they are appreciated by other knitters like you.

The following fibers are available in the colourways listed below:

Estelle: 100% Italian sportweight cashmere
Mont Blanc: 100% Light DK weight cashmere
Pippin: 100% aran / worsted weight cashmere
Whisper: 100% Peruvian fingering weight alpaca
Ariadne: 30% silk / 70% wool fingering weight.

Again, please scroll down for yardage, gauge and price information.

For best results, be sure to order enough yarn to complete your project. While your order will be dyed in one lot, hand-painted yarns may exhibit some colour variation between the individual skeins and even within a solitary skein. This is one of the hallmarks of hand-dyed and hand-painted yarns.

The dye-absorbing properties, as well as the texture, of the each fiber differ, which means that each colourway may vary from fiber to fiber. For example, colours in the cashmere may appear more muted in the soft halo of the alpaca. Where possible, pictures on this List of Colourways depict how the colourways appear in other fiber alternatives. Note: Great care has been taken to ensure that the colours depicted in each photograph are true to life, however, colours may vary according to the settings on your monitor.

PRICES AND HOW TO ORDER:

Information on each of the fibers, pricing and ordering can be found at the end of the list of colourways at the bottom of this page (please scroll down).

THE LIST OF COLOURWAYS:

The following is an ever-growing sample of colourways, as one of the things I love doing is expanding the palette. If you check back every now and then, you may find some new additions. Please note that colourways shown here in the (discontinued) merino have been kept on the list as they closely reflect how the same colours appear in the cashmere.
