Valley Yarns Hawley
Needle: 4mm/U.S. 6 metal sharp tips
Gauge: 20 sts/4″
Fiber Content: 50% Cotton/ 30% Silk/ 20% Nylon
I love the dappled look of this fiber mix!
I’ve ranked it as an intermediate because it behaves like a cotton and doesn’t have any stretch. I think that lack of stretch makes it a bit more challenging to work with it.

Valley Yarns Whately
Needle: 5.5mm/U.S. 9 metal sharp tips
Gauge: 20 sts/4″
Fiber Content: 68% Baby Alpaca/ 32% Organic Pima Cotton
The two colors in this chainette yarn give it gorgeous depth!
And, the combo of the alpaca (hello, soft) and the easy care of cotton makes it a great hand wash option!
