Yarns

We offer a variety of 100% wool, all natural yarns, and we are hoping to add other natural fibres to our stash.  Here you will find details of the current yarns we offer in our variety of colourways.  All of our yarns are dyed with professional washfast, fade resistant acid dyes.

Currently we offer the following yarns:

Blue Faced Leicester:  Commonly referred to as the "Poor Man's Cashmere" BFL is a very soft yet sturdy yarn.  It plies together nicely to form a round yarn, which is excellent for intricate stitches.  We offer BFL in Aran, Bulky and DK weight, and will be branching out into sock weight yarns in the near future.  BFL is 100% wool with the exception of the sock yarn which will be 80% wool 20% nylon making it machine washable.  BFL takes dyes vibrantly and bright!

Royal Merino: This merino will be one of our new regularly offered wools.  This is lowland merino where the ewes wool is sheared in a very humane manner.  The yarn is a very soft, supple yarn that is nice and springy and a joy to work with.

Cestari Fine Merino:  This two ply heavy worsted merino is from Cestari Farms, a very soft merino with clearly defined plies.  This yarn is a dream to knit up and takes dye wonderfully.

Indulgence Wool/Alpaca: This is an unbelievably soft and luxurious wool/alpaca blend yarn.  65% soft merino wool blended with 35% baby alpaca.  A super soft yarn that not only takes up dye beautifully and vibrantly, it is also a dream to work with whether you are knitting or crocheting.  This wool comes in an Aran weight, approximately 205 yards per 4 ounce skein.

Gaia Organic Merino: This is a 100% merino yarn; the sheep are organically raised and the wool is organically processed.  Currently we are offering this yarn in a light bulky weight, however, in the future we plan on branching out into sock and worsted weight Gaia.

As we purchase new undyed yarns to work with I will be adding product descriptions to our site.  Please note that these yarns will be available for in our retail online store.  If you require wholesale information regarding products offered, please inquire at info@lainesmagnifiques.com

Knits

All of our knit goods are hand knit by myself and are in no way mass produced.  You will find knits for all your cloth diapering needs; soakers, shorties, longies, capris, board shorts and skirties. You will also find, from time to time, knits that have no relation to cloth diapering for all members of your family, children and adults alike.   I also offer custom knit slots, where you can choose what you would like knit with my wool, as well as your yarn my needle (YYMN) slots where you can send me your favorite yarns and I will knit up whatever your hearts' desire (within reason of course :-))  This is subject to patterns available for reproduction for the purpose of resale.

All of my knit shorties, longies, and skirties are made using the Belladonna Designs pattern.  Our soakers are knit from the Radiant Twist Trim Fit soaker pattern.  We are a licensee of Radiant Twist and knit under a cottage license agreement.

Our shirts are USA made American Apparel shirts.  We offer short sleeve and long sleeve in a variety of colours and sizes.  Our shirts are embellished with professional flocking.  All designs are hand drawn, cut and appliqued to the shirt by myself.   We offer custom shirts, feel free to email us to find out about customs, designs and details.
