When it comes to wool, more is more! Salcantay has been a Knomad favorite since day one, so we made a sister yarn we know you will love. Created with the maximalist in mind, Solana is a bulky yarn spun from the same soft and hardy superwash wool as Salcantay. We upped the number of plies from Salcantay's 2 to 3, giving Solana a round, defined structure that makes every stitch pop with dimension. If you've dyed with Salcantay, you know how the yarn makes speckles sing, and Solana is no different. We love Solana for quick knitting accessories like hats and cowls. And with all the time you'll save, you'll be able to knit a gift for everyone on your list!

Skeins

A skein is loop of yarn twisted into a helix shape. This shape is the most common presentation of hand dyed yarn you will see in a yarn store.

The skein is tied to prevent the yarn from getting tangled during dyeing. Skeined yarn needs no extra preparation to dye. Just untwist the skein to lay it flat and it’s ready for your dye process.

Folded Hank

A hank is a loop of yarn that is folded instead of twisted like a skein. For bulk dyeing, folded hanks save time because you don’t need to untwist them before dyeing.

There is no difference between the yarn in a folded hank and a skein. Folded hanks come without tags and in 500 or 1000 gram packs, depending on the yarn type.

Pack

A pack is several skeins of yarn packaged together in a bag. Typically yarn comes in 5 or 10 skeins per pack, which equals 500 to 1000 grams, depending on the yarn type.

These skeins are twisted and come with a tag, so they are ready for retail shelves. If you choose to dye them, these skeins are great for beginners because they have a lower chance of getting tangled.

Mini Skeins

Mini skeins are small skeins of yarn made for things like needlepoint, color work, and advent calendars.

A typical skein weighs 50 or 100 grams. Mini skeins weigh 20 grams.

Cones

A cone is a length of yarn wound around a paper cone. Each cone weighs 1 kilo, the equivalent of 10, 100 gram skeins or 1000 grams.

Cones can be used to create extra long skeins for hand painting or gradients.

50g Skeins

50 gram skeins are skeins weighing 50 grams each. We offer this presentation for some of our most popular yarns
