1 pack = 10 hanks

A fuzzy plume of alpaca aloft a resplendent, shimmering core of silk, Pluma floats as if lifted by air. Named for the cozy down feathers it resembles, Pluma adds a beautiful, soft texture to any project. Pluma is a great substitute for mohair, but it's so much softer that it's hard to call it a substitute. Pluma holds its own in projects or looks great held together with another yarn to add a lovely halo effect. With an impressive 459 yards per 50 gram skein, holding a hank of Pluma feels like catching a cloud in your hand. When dyed, the color is most vibrant in the silk core, then fades to a gentler shade along the yarn's soft edges.

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.

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.

Folded Hanks

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.
