Details
Yoga Yarn tea Towel Kits! These were so popular last time we offered them we have some new colourway kits available now for a limited time.
With this fabulous kit, you can weave six (or more) lovely, fresh and funky tea towels from just 3 cones of our Yoga Yarn.
These tea towels are light, soft, absorbent and durable.
Our Yoga Yarn is super for new rigid heddle weavers to use as it has just enough "give" to make weaving cotton a pleasure.
Choose from FOUR great colourways – The kit includes instructions to weave six tea towels, a combination of blocks and stripes and with details in brooks bouquet and 3 cones of Yoga Yarn.
These can be woven on any Ashford rigid heddle loom 16" or wider with a 15dpi reed.
About the yarn
Yoga yarn is 35% lighter in weight than the 100% cotton in an equivalent weight. This is best when you want the bulk and density of a heavier yarn, but not the physical weight. Use Yoga yarn for fabrics, jackets, pull-overs, scarves, shawls and homewares which will have the bulk and density you want but at the same time staying light!
Yoga yarn has a nylon filament core completely covered by a cotton outer wrap! Get the best of both worlds: strength and elasticity of nylons with the natural comfort and beauty of cotton!
It is a 2 ply (two threads plied together) yarn – each ply is cotton spun over the nylon filament – the nylon filament is not visible and it will dye like 100% cotton.
It is such a pleasure to weave with this yarn. Due to the slight elasticity of the yarn there will be no more “saggy shed” when weaving on a rigid heddle loom!
This is Ne 8/2, but looks and weaves like Ne 5/2. You can use it in warp and weft and in any combination with other yarns.
"I'm so excited to finally find my perfect local yarn store. They carry such an amazing range of yarns, from locally sourced to small batch sheep to skein to naturally dyed. I've been twice (so far!) and I'm always greeted so nicely. It doesn't feel clique-y or snobby as some shops do. Their range is really amazing and so far I've gotten sweater yarn and yarn for 2 different shawls here. Dawn is great with color advice too. Highly reccomend!" - Google Review
"I couldn't leave this shop a high enough score. 10000/10. The instant I walked in, I was given a warm greeting and was immediately helped. I went in for sock yarn but, was overwhelmed by all the amazing local yarn. I love that they have a direct relationship with their yarn artisans. She even stayed a few minutes past closing when I was having problems picking just one skein. Never felt rushed or like she wanted me gone. She took the time to make sure I was getting exactly the righ.t product and even put my skein into a cake That's an amazing service that I've never been offered before. I can't say enough good things about this place. Ill definitely be making the trip there more often!" - Google Review
