BUYING GUIDE · Belfast, Prince Edward Island

Choose Fleece & Harmony yarn for a pattern

Use a knitting pattern and its required gauge as the starting point. Two yarns from the same mill can differ in fibre, ply and yardage. Buy enough of the selected colour together and allow for fulfilment time before setting a project deadline.

How do the two yarn families differ?

Selkirk is a two-ply Canadian-wool family at 200 yards per 80 g skein. Point Prim lists 80% Canadian wool and 20% Canadian mohair, at 400 yards per 104 g. These are not interchangeable quantities or identical fibre blends.

How should I plan the quantity?

Compare the pattern’s yardage, gauge and care needs with the selected family’s details, then ask about colour and dye-lot quantity. Some colours are sold out; the family listing does not guarantee enough skeins for a complete project.

What does the mill connection mean?

These two offerings are the PEI mill’s own yarn families with specific Canadian-fibre descriptions. Other brands sold in the shop do not inherit those claims. Confirm care and allow for the maker’s stated fulfilment period before shipping.
