- Yarn Berry Fun Yarns are dyed naturally, without the use of toxic chemicals. The colors are coaxed out of the beautiful plants and flowers (or even coffee that Grandpa drinks!) that fill the fields of Firefly Berries. We do purchase a small amount (less than 10%) of our dyestuff or natural extracts from trusted U.S. dyestuff companies, as there are a few colors that are we are unable to grow in Minnesota. Dyeing yarn naturally is different than using acid dyes in many ways, but the most striking to the dyer is that naturally dyed yarns are highly sensitive to the pH of the water used both in the dyeing and washing process. A slight change in the pH of the water can yield an entirely different color. Because of this, we recommend handwashing all Berry Fun Yarn in cool or tepid water with a pH neutral soap like Eucalan. Once we dye the yarn, we do wash every hank to assure the dye has both set and is easy for the customer to work with. We also recommend storing your yarn and finished products out of direct sunlight.

  - Embroidery ThreadA beautiful and unique thread for all your visible mending and embroidery needs.
  - Lace A superfine yarn that is great for lace work. Great for projects that wish to evoke an ethereal or floaty feeling. Laceweight mohair or silk is also wonderful when held double with another yarn to create extra warmth and texture. Most commonly used with size US 000-US 1 (1.5-2.25 mm) knitting needles or a 1.4-2.25 mm crochet hook.
    - Mohair Silk LaceThis delicate laceweight yarn is made from both soft kid mohair and shiny mulberry silk. It is perfect for lightweight shawls or for using held double with another yarn to create a fabric with a soft halo. 72% Kid Mohair – 28% Silk 459 yards – 50 grams
  - Fingering Fingering weight yarn is often used for baby items, socks, shawls, and other lightweight accessories and garments. It is approximately twice the weight of a lace yarn, and is typically knit using a US size 1-3 (2.25-3.25 mm) knitting needle or a size B-1 to E-3 (2.25-3.5 mm) crochet hook.
    - Angel FingeringOne of the most luxurious and decadent bases you’ll ever find. Perfect for shawls and anything close to your skin. 60% Baby Alpaca – 20% Silk – 10% Cashmere 100 grams – 437 yards
    - Berry Tough Sock80% Superwash Merino/20% Nylon – 100 grams – 400 yards This high twist 2-ply sock yarn will have your feet and body singing! The softness of Merino, coupled with the strength of a high twist and nylon, plump up when dyed and make this a perfect yarn for any fingering weight project.
    - Eco Printed Sock BlanksSock blanks offer a unique and fun way to knit a sock. Simply unravel the blank and start knitting! No winding involved. Each of these sock blanks are one of a kind, and involve a process called eco printing. This is where I directly place the flowers and plant materials on the knitted fabric and then steam them to encourage the dyes to release from the plants. All dyes are permanently set. Check out our YouTube channel for a video to see how it is done! Each blank is fingering weight yarn, 463 yards, 100 grams. 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon
    - Suri Fluff FingeringA beautifully soft and cozy fingering weight yarn. 100% Suri Alpaca 100 grams – 437 yards
    - Yak SockYak = More warmth and more luxury! This decadent base is in the fingering weight (437 yards/100 grams) with fiber content of 70% Superwash Merino/20% Yak/10% Nylon
  - Sport/DK Sport is slightly heavier in weight than fingering and DK stands for double knitting weight. This category of yarn is a great middle of the road weight, perfect for all projects from hats and mittens to baby items and even garments. Most commonly used with size US 5-7 (3.75-4.5 mm) knitting needles or a size 7 to I9 (4.5-5.5 mm) crochet hook.
    - Allstar DKIf you are looking for a versatile weight of yarn that knits up a bit faster than fingering, than look no further! This 4-ply plump, soft yarn is great for sweaters, shawls, hats, or any type of clothing. Also great for those who like thicker socks or a shawl with a little more warmth. Great drape when knitted up! 100% Superwash Merino – 115 grams – 250 yards
    - Berry Tough SportThe sport weight version of the Berry Tough Sock base, this yarn falls between fingering and DK weights. It is a wonderful option for knitting garments like scarves and hats, as well as for tops, sweaters or baby clothes. 80% Superwash Merino – 20% Nylon 3ply yarn 328 yards – 100 grams
    - DK TweedThis unique yarn gives a nod to the original Irish Tweed woven cloth of the same name. A neutral superwash merino background with bits of color woven into the plies, this yarn takes color beautifully, and the effect is both tactile and visually appealing. 85% Superwash Merino 15% Donegal Nep (a dye-resistant nylon fiber) 4ply yarn 231 yards – 100grams
    - Yak Silk DKA beautifully shiny, soft and drapey base. 60% Superwash Merino – 20% Yak – 20% Silk 231 yards – 100 grams
  - Worsted/Aran Worsted/Aran are the two thickest yarn bases that I currently carry. Both weights fall into the medium weight “4” category as given by the Yarn Council and are great for a multitude of warmer projects from hats to mittens to garments and blankets. Gauge would generally be 16-20 stitches over 4 inches with the use of US 7-9 needles or a crochet hook size I-K.
    - BFL AranA beautifully soft two ply Bluefaced Leicester Aran weight wool. 100% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester 181 yards – 100 grams

    - Berry Tough ConfettiA unique 2 ply high twist tweed yarn, Berry Tough Confetti has a neutral background with bits of color woven into the plies. These “donegal neps” are made from dye-resistant nylon and add colors of pink, yellow, green and blue to the final skein of yarn… a fun take on the traditional tweed. 85% Superwash Merino – 15% Donegal neps 100 grams – 438 yards
    - Berry Tough SparkleThis high twist, fingering weight yarn sparkles with beauty from the stellina that is woven into the plies. Stellina, a non-metal, silver-toned fiber, makes this yarn a delight to knit with and to wear. 75% Superwash Merino – 25% Nylon – 5% Silver Stellina 438 yards – 100 grams
    - BFL WorstedA nonsuperwash worsted weight base. Great stitch definition. 100 grams – 218 yards.
    - Jewel80% Superwash Merino/10% Cashmere/10% Nylon 100 grams – 400 yards Just as the Jewel strawberry has become one of our most beloved varieties here on the farm, so too we believe this fingering base will become a yarny favorite. A most wonderfully soft yarn, this base combines springy superwash merino with soft cashmere and durable nylon for a perfect blend of goodness. Great for that special pair of socks, shawl or sweater.
    - Slub FingeringA unique fingering weight yarn with bumps of fiber throughout the strand. 90% Superwash Merino – 10% Nylon 100 grams – 438 yards
