About The Bases

80/20 Extra Fine Merino Nylon Super Wash Fingering Weight

Created with Arcane in mind! Late 2020 before Arcane was even live, we began talks with a Mill to create a base with our needs in mind. At the time we had been experimenting with quite a few different bases including a 70/20/10 Merino, Bamboo, Nylon mix, a 100% merino base, a 75/25 Merino Nylon, a 85/15 Merino Nylon and several 80/20 Merino nylon bases from a few different suppliers. We realized we needed something that was as soft as the 85/15 base you all have come to love, but it needed to be more in line with the popularity of 80/20 Merino Nylon base that has become standard in the industry. Thus the 80/20 Arcane base was born! This base is incredibly soft, extra squishy, and an absolute dream to work with. Consisting of 80% extra fine 19.5 micron Superwash Merino and 20% Nylon this (4/16Nm) 3ply "Deluxe" Fingering Weight base is perfect for all your next to skin projects.
