Spun Especially for Weavers
Burnham’s Trading Post Yarn was spun specifically for use with Navajo weaving techniques. It’s ready to use without re-spinning, with a micron count of about 56. The yarn has a tighter twist than knitting yarns of the same weight, so it may look thinner than the specified weight would suggest. You’ll notice the extra twist when you wash the wool. We dyed many of the colors we carry here in our store, which means we have ultimate control over the colors. Because we dye our yarns in small batches of five skeins each, and we exhaust the dye, we have gradients in many of our colorways.
Burnham’s Trading Post Yarn is available in Size 1, approximately 210 yards per skein, and Size 2, around 325 yards per skein. A skein will cover about a square foot of the weaving area.
Inside Burnham’s Trading Post Yarn #1: Good Stuff, What to Know, and Pro Tips
Good Stuff:
This is very smooth and even singles yarn. It takes dye very well. It felts well too! You don’t need to re-spin this yarn because it’s spun for weaving in the first place, meaning that it will give your designs crisp definition and a smooth surface. If you dye your wool, you’ll find that it takes color well. It weaves evenly with a sett of 8-10 warps per inch. We try to keep the price down so that it is affordable for production weavers.
What to Know:
The mill that produced this yarn for us has gone out of business, and so has Burnham’s Trading Post. We hope to produce a similar yarn in the future, but we are not able to do it right now. We will be dyeing Brown Sheep Top of the Lamb in the colors we developed for the Burnham Yarn base. Our Burnham’s colors are limited to stock on hand.
Pro Tips:
We have too many colors to offer color cards, but we are happy to send you samples of up to five colors that you think you might like. We’re also available for color consultations by phone, so so that you can talk to a fellow weaver about our favorite subject.
