About The Yarn

All cones are in 8 oz. (half-pound) increments, aside from the sock/fingering weight yarns, which come on 4 oz. cones. This does not include the weight of the cone itself, which is approximately 1 oz.

The yarn is not twisted, as you may be used to seeing in commercial yarns, but rather wound parallel at an even tension. This usually will give a similar feel to having a twisted, plied yarn, particularly if comprised of clingy fibers like wool and cotton, as you knit with it off the cone.

If you are prone to splitting stitches, you may find that this happens for you more often with this type of yarn, as the individual strands are not plied together. However, this is easy to get used to, and should start to feel natural to your fingers with some practice.
