Laurel is similar to Susan, but in a worsted weight. It is a 100% mercerized pima cotton yarn and is well-suited for cardigans, shoulder bags, afghans, shawls, and ponchos.
At 400 yards per skein, two will make a sweater.
Miss Priss is very soft to the touch and is well-suited for sweaters, scarves, hats, shawls, and afghans.  It is 100% merino wool, perfect for all worsted-weight projects.
Elaine is 100% merino wool and is well-suited for sweaters, scarves, hats, tops, and other accessories. This is a bulky weight, fine quality yarn with a thick/thin twist throughout.

Cheryl & Erich Schaefer started Schaefer Yarn in 1980 and now live and work in Interlaken, a village just north of Ithaca in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York. 
Although there are now 16 employees, each and every skein of yarn is still individually hand painted, just as it was in the beginning. They originated hand painted yarns!
