Summer is swinging into full gear, and I know you are thinking, "Brandy, no one wants to think about warm, fuzzy yarns when it is 90F outside."

But surprisingly, fluffy, lace weight yarns have long been a staple in our line up of hand dyed yarns all year around. And with the recent upgrade of our newest addition to our lace weight options, Merino Fluff, I thought it'd be a great time to take a closer look at these unique yarns and what makes each of them a great addition to your fiber crafting & yarn stash.

Plus, there's nothing better in hot weather than dreaming of cooler days ahead and all your knitting/crocheting makes you can't wait to cast on.

Meet our lace weight line-up

Our line-up of lace weight hand dyed yarns has undergone some changes through the years - from lofty mohair, super soft alpaca, and now squishy merino - but I think our current two fluffy lace weight yarns might be the best options we've ever offered. Each of these yarns have their own unique set of characteristics that make them great options if you are looking to add a fluffy yarn to your crafting.

SURI LACE

Our long time, fan favorite fluffy yarn offering, Suri Lace is my personal go to whenever I want to work with a fluffy yarn - which is quite often for my cold weather makes because I will never get tired of wrapping myself up in a fuzzy cloud of a sweater.

If you've never worked with alpaca before, believe me when I say that it is extraordinarily soft and produces an amazingly warm fabric. This brushed version is spun around a silk core to create a very airy yarn with a wonderful halo of alpaca fibers that adds a wonderful texture to your knit or crochet fabric.

This yarn is nonsuperwash, so it takes on the dyes a bit differently than our standard superwash yarns. Sometimes this results in slight differences in the hue of the color and a more muted tone.

Measuring in at 437yds per 50g skein, Suri Lace also provides a generous yardage packed in a soft little package.

MERINO FLUFF

Merino Fluff is the most recent addition to our fuzzy yarns, but since we debuted this yarn, it has consistently grown to be our best selling lace weight hand dyed yarn - and I think I know why.

Made with fluffy, brushed merino, this yarn is a perfect option for anyone facing mohair or alpaca allergies, but still aching for a fuzzy yarn option. The brushed merino is slightly denser than the baby alpaca in Suri Lace, so its halo isn't quite as airy, but it still provides that fun, fluffy texture to knit & crochet fabrics.

When dyed, Merino Fluff also has a much more saturated color compared to that of the suri alpaca, due to the superwash treatment of the brushed merino. And for only $18 per 50g skein, it is also a real treat for your yarn budget.

Merino Fluff recently got a little upgrade that makes it better than ever before. Finally available in 50g skeins, it now also features a gorgeous silk core like Suri Lace that glows within the halo of the brushed merino fibers.

the right fluff - project inspiration

These fluffy, lace weight hand dyed yarns can definitely look a bit intimidating to use at first, but they are actually very easy to incorporate into your fiber crafting.

You can use any of them on their own to create a gorgeously light but super warm & cozy fabric. Often, you will see it recommended to hold two strands of the lace weight yarn together when knit, but it also works beautifully worked as a single strand knit at a very loose gauge to produce a more transparent, extra airy fabric. You might also see it used to create whimsical changes in the texture in a fabric, such as alternating a fluffy yarn with a standard (non fuzzy) yarn to create textural stripes.

The most common way I've seen these yarns used, though, is by holding the fuzzy lace weight yarn together with another, often fingering weight, strand of standard (non fuzzy) yarn to produce a cozy fabric with a slight halo. Combining multiple yarns like this is also great if you want to make a pattern that requires a heavier weight yarn but you only have lighter yarns on hand. You can get creative with your combinations, using different colors or a combination of a variegated yarn + a tonal yarn to create unique, marled fabrics. Truly, the options for using these lace weight yarns to personalize your crafting is endless!

If you find yourself bit by the fluffy yarn bug, but aren't sure what to make, here are a few projects I have my eye on for some future additions to my own handmade wardrobe.
