Moore House Royale - Our Royale yarns are the ultimate in softness as they are made with the softest grade of alpaca we offer, < 20µm in fibre diameter! Royale yarns are suitable for items that will be worn next to the most sensitive skin. We offer Royale yarn in lace and fingering weights. Some Royale yarn is available with a blend of cultivated or Tussah silk.
Moore House Premier- Our Premier yarns are very soft and lovely, made with alpaca in the low 20µm range. This yarn is buttery soft and is suitable for items worn next to your skin such as scarves, shawls, hats, and fine sweaters. We offer Premier yarn in both lace weight and sport weight. Some varieties are blended with soy silk or bamboo.
Moore House Traditions - Our Traditions yarn is made from alpaca fibre in the upper 20µm range. Since we have the mills dehair all fibre destined for Traditions yarn, this lovely yarn is very soft with dramatically less prickle compared with other yarns in the same micron range available elsewhere. More than one alpaca fibre expert has been fooled into believing that these yarns are made with Grade 2 alpaca! Traditions yarn is most suitable for items such as sweaters, hats, and mittens. It is available in DK and Aran weight and some varieties are blended with merino.
Moore House Majestic North Sock Yarn - Our Majestic North yarn is made from upper 20µm fibre and is blended with merino and bamboo especially for knitting socks. The bamboo adds durability as well as antimicrobial properties. Most Majestic North yarn is hand dyed.
Moore House Classic Wooly Sock Yarn - Our Classic Wooly Sock yarn has been crafted with wool and alpaca fibre grown and spun in Canada. This 60% wool, 20% alpaca, 20% nylon yarn has been blended especially for knitting robust socks. The alpaca provides additional warmth and the nylon provides durability.
Moore House yarns are delivered to you in centre-pull balls rather than in skeins so that you can begin knitting right away without the fuss of winding it into a ball yourself. Of course, if you would rather receive the yarn in skeins, we can arrange that for you. The price of our yarn reflects the fineness of the alpaca used in the yarn, whether or not it has been blended with other fibres, and the weight to which it has been spun.
Please contact us if you wish further information on any of our yarns. If you have a high speed internet connection, feel free to request us to send you high resolution photos.
HST is included in all prices. Shipping is extra and is calculated at Canada Post rates based on package size and weight.
