Our Zephira yarn line is comprised of 50% Fine Merino Wool and 50% Tussah Silk, blended together to create a truly elegant yarn. This unique combination of natural fibers provides yarn that is both lightweight and lustrous.

This is a true luxury yarn that knitters and weavers absolutely love working with.

We built Zephira to keep a beloved making experience alive: a wool and silk 2/18 lace cone inspired by Jagger Spun’s Zephyr that feels next-to-skin soft, shows that treasured quiet glow, and finishes cleanly. After Zephyr was discontinued, makers asked for a dependable 2/18 they could plan around, so we carried those trusted specs forward with consistent quality and care that you can rely on.

Smooth warps, clean finish, lasting drape

  • Worsted spun construction for smooth warp passes and crisp definition after finishing.
  • Balanced wool and silk for warmth to weight, soft drape, and a subtle sheen.
  • Established 2/18 count trusted by weavers for predictable planning.

Best for

  • Handwoven scarves, shawls, stoles, yardage, and fine babywear
  • Lace knitting and machine knitting where drape and memory matter
  • Collapse textures, deflected designs, and twills that open with a light wet finish

Start fast with these setts and gauges

  • Weaving setts for 2/18: about 18 to 20 epi for plain weave and 22 to 28 epi for twill. Sample to tune for your loom and beat.
  • Knit gauge for lace fabrics: about 24 to 32 stitches per 4 inches on US 1 to 4, depending on fabric and finish.
  • Crochet gauge (blocked): about 28 to 34 sc and 36 to 42 rows per 4 inches on US B-1 to C-2 for a firm fabric, or about 20 to 24 dc and 12 to 16 rows per 4 inches on US D-3 to E-4 for drapey lace.

Project ideas

  • Airy twill shawls with subtle luster
  • Deflected doubleweave scarves that block flat
  • Lace wraps that hold their shape after blocking

Why a cone is the smart choice

  • Continuous yardage: about 5,040 yards on one cone reduces joins and helps keep tension even.
  • Smooth unwinding for warp, weft, and machine knitting.
  • Efficient for sampling and multiple pieces from the same color lot.

Care is simple

  • Hand wash cool with a wool wash. Press in a towel. Dry flat and reshape.
  • Wool and silk colors can be less resistant to strong light than 100 percent wool. Store finished pieces out of direct light and test colorfastness before combining high contrast shades.
