Charles Dickens February (1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English novelist and social critic. In his lifetime he campaigned vigorously for children’s rights, education and other social reforms. He created some of literature’s best-known fictional characters, and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian age. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and he is often regarded as a literary genius. Many of his most beloved characters inspired the names I chose for my yarn bases.

Estella Sock

Soft, graceful, and quietly distinctive, Estella Sock is a single-ply yarn of gentle drape and refined texture. The touch of linen lends a subtle matte contrast — a delicate whisper of structure within the softness.

Each skein is 100g – Approximately 360m (393 yards)

Weight: Fingering/ 4 ply
Texture: Single (not plied)
Needle size: 3-3.75mm

Wemmick Sock

Strong, reliable, and made for everyday wear, Wemmick Sock is a balanced 3-ply blend designed with durability in mind. The wool provides warmth and softness, while the nylon lends resilience and long-lasting strength — a thoughtful pairing for pieces that see both movement and memory.

With clear stitch definition and a steady twist, it works beautifully for socks, garments, and accessories that require structure without sacrificing comfort. Wemmick is practical yet personable — steadfast, enduring, and quietly dependable.

Manette Sock

Smooth, lustrous, and beautifully composed, Manette Sock is a yarn of quiet strength and polished grace. The silk lends a refined sheen, the wool offers resilience and warmth, and the touch of mohair adds subtle depth and bloom.

Plied for durability yet soft in the hand, it glides across the needles and settles into fabric with elegant drape and lasting structure. Manette is steady and luminous.

Each skein is 100g – Aproximately 400m

Weight: Fingering/ 4 ply
Texture: Plied

Clara Lace

Light as breath and soft as candlelit lace, Clara is a whisper of halo and air. This fine laceweight mohair blooms gently over the stitches, creating a delicate haze that catches the light and softens every colour it touches.

Each skein is 25g – Approximately 212m

Held alone, it creates ethereal scarves and heirloom shawls; carried with another yarn, it lends depth, warmth, and a luminous veil. Clara is softness made visible — quiet, romantic, and impossibly light.

Texture: Plied with halo
Needle size: 2.5mm  – 5.5mm
