Fiber bases
The fiber changes the feel.
Not every AJem colorway is offered on every base. The listing for each braid shows the available fiber options.
Merino
21.5 micron
Fine and soft, with a smooth hand that suits next-to-skin projects and spinners who enjoy a finer fiber.
Polwarth
22–25 micron
A versatile balance of softness, bounce, and structure. It is also the current base for AJem gradient sets.
BFL
26 micron
A longer-stapled wool with a little more structure and luster, useful when you want definition and durability.
Merino + Silk
Available on select colorways
A wool-and-silk blend for spinners who want softness with added sheen and drape. Availability varies by colorway.
Color management
The braid is only the beginning.
How you divide, spin, and ply hand-dyed fiber changes what happens to the color in the finished yarn. Keep sections large for longer repeats, split more finely for shorter repeats, or use a fractal preparation to combine both.
