Is Kelbourne Woolens Perennial Yarn soft and comfortable enough for sensitive skin or baby projects?

Absolutely! Kelbourne Woolens Perennial is a wool blend yarn made from superwash merino, Suri alpaca, and nylon, giving it a lovely softness and gentle drape that’s suitable for delicate skin. Many customers love using it for baby knits, shawls, and lightweight sweaters, especially because it’s smooth and not scratchy. If you’re looking for something cozy and comfortable for newborns or those with sensitivities, Perennial is a great choice.

I want to knit socks. Is this yarn strong enough and what makes it suitable for socks?

Yes, Kelbourne Woolens Perennial Yarn is perfect for socks! Its special blend of superwash merino and Suri alpaca makes it soft, while the addition of nylon (15%) adds strength and durability—essential for sock knitting. Each 100g skein has generous yardage (497 yards), so you’ll have plenty for a pair. Plus, it’s fingering-weight, which is the go-to for socks. Just remember to hand wash them gently and lay flat to dry for best results.

How do I choose the right color for my project?

Kelbourne Woolens Perennial comes in a wide range of beautiful, vibrant colors including neutrals like Black, Lead, and Natural as well as standout shades like Neon Lime, Ultramarine, Cornflower, Pineapple, and Neon Pink. If you’re planning colorwork or want to combine shades, try pairing a bold accent with a neutral for contrast. For baby gifts or classic knits, softer hues like Silver, Lilac, or Teal Green are favorites among customers. Feel free to mix and match since the color palette is designed to look great together!

Can I mix Kelbourne Woolens Perennial with other yarns in my projects?

Definitely! Perennial is a versatile fingering-weight wool blend yarn, so it plays well with other yarns of similar weight and texture. You can combine it in colorwork with other fingering-weight wools or even hold it double with a mohair or silk yarn for added softness and a unique look. Just make sure the gauge matches your pattern, and always swatch before starting your project.

What’s the best way to care for items made with Kelbourne Woolens Perennial Yarn?

To keep your handmade pieces looking their best, hand wash them gently in cold water with a mild detergent, then lay flat to dry. This wool blend yarn contains superwash merino and Suri alpaca, so it’s more delicate than superwash-only yarns. Avoid wringing or twisting to maintain the shape and softness of your projects. With a little extra care, your knits will stay soft, beautiful, and last for years.
