All the Details

About the Yarn

Apple Fiber Studio Empire is a beautiful fingering-weight single-ply yarn spun from superwash merino wool and silk, hand-dyed in Bellingham, Washington. Exceptional drape and shine make this yarn stand out in just about any project, and it pairs wonderfully with other Apple Fiber Studio bases such as Delicious and Cortland to make fabrics that glisten and have a sumptuous halo.

The Benefits

Superwash merino and silk are blended together to create the ultimate drapey, luxurious yarn perfect for finer projects such as lace. We love it for so many things, as the fabric Empire creates is buttery-soft and a joy to wear. Empire’s silk appears to glisten in the light, adding an extra depth to these already beautiful hand-dyed colorways.

Shop in general

I have yet to visit the shop in person. But I have known Andrea, her husband & their staff for a long time due to the Stitches Conventions. I have talked to them on the phone, with video, for help with picking out colors to go with past purchases. Or with a new purchase. I never had a problem they couldn’t figured out - including the fact I had two email accounts with them and couldn’t figure out which one had the VIP account. They are my long distance LYS!

Stunning colors!

I love the feel, and both colors I picked. I’m planning on making a baby blanket with them.
Yellow and blue go so well together!
