YOTH Yarns Cotton Wool Fingering Yarn, Shiitake 003

Two matched skeins of YOTH Yarns Best Friend in Shiitake 003 — a warm pebble-grey four-season cotton-wool blend, lightly heathered with the tweedy character that comes from spinning two fibres together. The skeins are American-made on YOTH's signature cotton-forward base; both bands are intact and the dye lot is matched, so the pair will work as a shawl, a summery tee, or a one-skein cowl plus matching mitts.

This listing is for 1 skein of YOTH Yarns Best Friend in color Shiitake 003. 2 available.

About the yarn:

Best Friend is YOTH's cotton-leaning all-season base — 75% cotton, 25% wool, 100 g / 550 yd per skein. The cotton gives it cool drape for warm weather; the wool keeps the stitches from going limp and lets the yarn block out evenly the way pure cotton can't. It blooms slightly after the first wash, softening into a hand that reads more cotton-flannel than yarn-shop. Recommended needles US 2–6 / 2.75–4 mm. Hand-wash cool, lay flat to dry.

About YOTH Yarns Best Friend:

YOTH — short for Yarn on the House — is the small Los Angeles studio of Veronika Jobe, a designer-turned-yarn-developer who built the line around bases she wanted to knit with herself. The label is known for restrained, plant-driven palettes, American-spun bases, and small-batch dye lots run out of the Echo Park studio. Best Friend is YOTH's quiet workhorse: a fingering-weight cotton with just enough wool to hold stitch definition, and a name that telegraphs exactly what the studio wants it to be in a knitter's stash.
