Noro's Cashmere Island

Raggi 70% wool/30% nylon, 4.5-5 sts/inch
This is a mid-gauge sock yarn, great for boot socks and slippers. I can also be used for hardwearing, washable children’s clothes. We stock Raggi in a wide range of multicolors and ragg wool blends. There are a number of nice neutrals for those who don’t like the more flashy colors.

Cash Vero is a cashmere/ merino blend that’s wonderfully soft, a dream to work with, and resists pilling.

Cash Vero 55% merino/33 % microfiber acrylic/12% cashmere, 4-5 sts/inch
This is a delicious, cushy yarn in a medium weight, good for almost any project.

Amity Print 75% acrylic/25% wool, 5 sts/inch
This is the machine-wash-and-dry Amity in beautiful multicolors.

Magallanes 100% wool, hand dyed, 5 sts/inch
This is a wonderful thick-and-thin hand-dyed wool yarn from Araucania. It has beautiful colorways and very good yardage.

Ranco 75% wool/25% polyamide, 7.5 sts/inch
This is the other Araucania yarn I’ve introduced. It has many of the same gorgeous colorways as the Magallanes, but in a sock yarn.

We also carry Jewel Hand Dyed, Baby Alpaca Chunky, Wonderful Wool, Cascade 220, and Noro Kureyon and Silk Garden, to name a few.

The hand-dyed yarns that we sell in our Etsy store are available in the Cambridge shop, too. Below are photos of some recently dyed merino blend superwash sock yarns; we also carry other types and weights.

Please note that because yarns are hand-dyed in relatively small lots availability of specific yarns and colors may vary.
