Soft Current falls in gentle curves, soft and fine and full of drape. Hold it double for an even thicker, fluffier fabric.

We think of Soft Current as a sister yarn to our silk mohair Frond. It has a slightly thicker core, a more substantial halo, and can be knit at a larger gauge - resulting in a garment that is incredibly lightweight yet warm.

PATTERN RECOMMENDATION
A wonderful example is the Andie pullover by Cocoknits, the sample shown is knit out of Red Pear, a gorgeous shade of deep rose. Everyone who touches the sample melts because it is so soft. And it doesn't take much yarn (or time) to knit!

Finished Bust Circumference: 36 (41, 44.5, 49.75)(54.5, 59.25, 64)”
Skeins of Soft Current Needed: 4 (4, 4, 5)(5, 6, 7)

Soft Current's palette features several of our most popular colors over the years, as well as a few favorites of the dye studio like Firefly, and a brand new color, Hidden Beach, inspired by trips to the sea. There's a little something for everyone! So select your favorite color and be prepared to feel like you are knitting a cloud.

When working with yarn dyed with indigo, it is common and natural for the blue dye to rub off on one’s hands while sewing. This is called crocking. Although the goods have been washed, it takes pressured contact to release the extra indigo dye. Your handwork is part of the indigo dyeing process. The blue dye can be removed with hot water and soap. From working closely with indigo dyed materials through the making process, typically, the excess dye has been removed, and the crocking will cease.
