Fyberspates Cumulus

Like clouds that you can knit.

In 2005, when there were hardly any hand-dyed yarns in the UK, Jeni Hewlett took the leap into the unknown. She founded Fyberspates with a vision: to create yarns that are not just wool, but poetry in fiber form. Today, almost two decades later, Cumulus may be her most delicate poem.

The name says it all. Cumulus – like the soft sheep clouds drifting across the sky on summer days. And that's exactly what you hold in your hands: 74% baby Suri alpaca that wraps around a silky core of 26% silk like a whisper. Not firm, not heavy, but floating like a dream you can touch.

A yarn that wants to replace mohair, without its scratchiness and stubbornness. Instead, this delicate aura, this gentle halo around every stitch, enveloping your projects in a soft mist. As if your knitting were breathing, living, developing its own gentle presence.

150 meters of lightness in every 25-gram ball. So little weight for so much effect. You can knit it alone for scarves that float instead of hang. Or you let it accompany other yarns – Cumulus will give them a warm shimmer, a delicacy they could never have on their own.

With needles of 3-5mm, stitches are created that are not sharply defined, but flow softly into one another. 24 stitches and 30 rows per 10cm – but that's just theory. In reality, Cumulus does what it wants: it drapes perfectly, follows the lines of your body, moves with you as if it were alive.

Cumulus is the yarn for your quiet projects. For shawls that drape like morning mist around your shoulders. For sweaters that are so soft you forget you're wearing them. For moments when you don't want to knit – but to dream.
