Fibres

What special prep is needed before dyeing your yarns?

There are a huge variety of dyeing techniques, each with its own unique look, so we invite you to experiment and get creative! But here are some basic tips to get you started on your color journey. The majority of our yarns are made from protein fibre. Protein fibres include wool, alpaca, silk, cashmere, and mohair. Protein fibres must be treated with acid and heat to ensure the dye adheres. This can be done by presoaking the yarn in a solution of water and white vinegar or citric acid. Typically just a splash of white vinegar or a couple tablespoons per pound of fibre of citric acid is needed. You can also add white vinegar or citric acid to your yarn along with your dye. You can usually find more information on specific quantities of white vinegar or citric acid needed as well as information on dye techniques from your dye source. Heat can be applied in many different ways, but we recommend agitating the yarn as little as possible to maintain the beautiful structure of the yarn as well as preventing tangling.

Where are your fibres sourced?

Our fibres are sourced from our trusted fibre partners around the world. For more information, please contact us at customercare@knomad.com.

Undyed Yarn

Looking for cotton or bamboo yarns

We are currently in development of several new bases, check back soon!

Looking for all natural yarns, that do not pill

All yarns will pill with constant abrasion, but the more plies a yarn has – the less it will pill. I suggest spark, it is GOTS certified organic merino, and a four ply!

Do you have yarns that do not have fuzz/pill?

All yarns will pill with constant abrasion, but the more plies a yarn has – the less it will pill. I would suggest trying our four ply yarns such as Spark and Snowdrift!

Best natural yarn for socks?

We do not have a 100% wool fingering weight yarn, ours are blended with varying percentages of nylon or tencel. I would recommend you try out Snowdrift, which us 75% wool and 25% nylon.

Do you have any non-wool yarn?

Yes!! Check out Latte, its 100% baby alpaca.

What yarn is best for socks?

I think our best sock yarns are snowdrift or eggshell. Snowdrift has 25% nylon, and eggshell has 30%.

What yarn is best for a sweater?

The best yarn for a sweater totally depends on you! I have a lovely sweater knit out of stratus, and another out of Bristle. All of our yarns are great candidates for sweaters in my opinion!

which yarns can be machine washed and dryed?

While we always recommend handwashing and laying flat to dry for all our yarns, we do have a few that are superwash. Our superwash yarns are Egghshell, Snowdrift, and Salcantay.

Whats the difference between Snowdirft and Egg Shell?

Snowdrift has 25% nylon content while Eggshell has 30%.

Is the beginning and end of skein at the tie connected to the tag?

Yes, the beginning and end of the skein are wrapped around the skein to prevent knotting, and then tied to the tag. There are two other ties, for a total of three.

Spark is a non-super wash wool. We recommend hand washing or soaking, and laying flat to dry.

How many skeins are in a pack?

We recommend hand washing all yarns and laying flat to dry, however we have a few specifically superwash yarns: Snowdrift, Eggshell, and Salcantay.
