DRAGON TALE YARNS This is a set of eight different yarns, all 100% American-made, dyed with fiber-reactive dyes to our palette of sixteen coordinated colors. Ideal for all forms of weaving, hand and machine knitting and crochet, reasonably priced. There are two weights of smooth matt cotton, and two cotton slubs. And four rayons: two smooth, a slub, and a high-lustre, 1000 yd/LB twisted chenille. Of the eighteen colors, twelve are solids: four light-and-dark color pairs, plus Black, Curry, Gold and Olive (the last two not yet available in the two cotton slubs). The remaining six are space-dyed rainbows. The Dragon Tales are all put up on 8-ounce cones. The cottons are soft and richly mellow, becoming more so over time. The rayon colors are especially saturated and lustrous; finished pieces enjoy an especially elegant drape. They are machine-washable and dryable, except for the chenille (wash once to finish, then dry-clean). These yarns are also available undyed, in natural white, on one-pound cones. Choose from the list below to see prices, codes and colors for each of the eight types of Dragon Tale Yarns. Please remember that dye-lots vary; if an exact match matters, be sure to get enough the first time. The dye-lot number is marked inside each cone. 8/2 Cotton 4/2 Cotton 3.5/1 Cotton Slub 1.8/1 Cotton Slub 8/2 Rayon 5/2 Rayon Rayon Slub Rayon Chenille COUNTS, PLIES & YARDAGES FOR DRAGON TALE YARNS COTTONS count code type plies yds/cone 8/2 yaD8 smooth 2 1600 4/2 yaD4 smooth 2 800 3.5/1 yaD3 slub 2 1500 1.8/1 yaD1 slub 3 750 RAYONS count code type plies yds/cone 8/2 yaR8 smooth 2 3200 5/2 yaR5 smooth 2 2100 1.8/1 yaR1 *slub 3 840 1000 yd/LB yaRC chenille ** 500 ** Chenille is made from cross fibers secured in the twists of the plied core yarn, very much like a pipe cleaner. *The rayon slub is close in weight to the 1.8/1 cotton, and has a nylon binder, which takes dye a little bit differently (more lightly) than the rayon.
