1/14NM lacewt soft spun & boucle

The boucle yarns from Lineapiu of Italy are a single polyamide filament with a cashmere fibre wrap. This makes for soft but strong laceweight, mostly cashmere by weight, with the great crinkly effect. It also gives a balanced yarn - the filament has no residual twist so there should be no bias with the boucle yarns even though they are singles.

The 1/14s non boucle singles from Todd & Duncan are soft spun and steam set to give lower twistiness, but knitters should be aware that as unbalanced singles yarns they do still retain some residual bias. They have great colours though, and work well for weavers too..

As 1/14NM yarns these give 2,300 yards per cone, 7,000 yards per lb, and should give around 32-36 stitches on a 4 inch swatch, using US 2-5, 2.5-3.75 mm needles. Please add your experiences with these yarns (especially with pictures!) below. You can find articles about knitting and washing these yarns in our Knowledge Base section..

Note that as always we will WIND multiple plies of these yarns onto cone for no extra charge, just let us know how many plies when you pay.....we will also TWIST multiple plies of the 1/14 non boucle yarns for free, to give a fairly balanced thicker yarn....

also note that some of the 1/14s soft spun came in on small cones, orders may be shipped on part cones (usually with a bit of extra yarn) so if that would be a problem please let us know.
