YARN VARIATIONS AVAILABLE:
All skeins are dyed in stormy dusty purple with rare streaks of pink magenta. They will not overpower the pattern and the yarn will look almost semi-solid with very soft changes of colour. Please note, that the yarn on the picture is Alpaca Chainette, all other yarn bases will NOT have the chainette structure.
- DK Sparkle Sock: Superwash 75% merino / 25% nylon. Each skein is 212m (231 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz). With a bit of sparkle it will make a beautiful luxury item
- DK BFL: Superwash 100% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester. Each skein is 225m (246 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz). This yarn is 100% British wool from mainland UK. BFL yarn does not need to have nylon in it to be durable and suitable for making socks which makes it a perfect alternative to synthetic blends. It is naturally strong and soft. This yarn is perfect for thicker socks and for other strong garments, for example, scarves, shawls, cardigans, hats.
- DK Superwash merino: 100% Superwash merino - warm, smooth and soft yarn that would work so well in hats, scarves, shawls and cardigans. The wool is mulesing free and comes from South America. Each skein is 225m (246 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz).
- DK Alpaca/merino Chainette: 84% Baby Alpaca, 8% Merino. 8% Polyamide. This is an incredibly soft yarn with a bit of fuzzy halo. Chainette structure makes it a pleasure to craft with, it expands in a stitch filling it with its fibres. It feels very soft and textured in a finished object which will instantly add unique features to the crafted item. Each skein is 220m (240 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz).
Disclaimer:
- The yarn is dyed in small batches and a few skeins might be ready to ship straight away. We dye the rest to order and need a few days to complete the work.
- Please note, that since the yarn is hand dyed, no two skeins are identical, and skeins from different batches may vary. If you'd like to use a few skeins for one garment, please buy enough in one go so we could dye it for you with as little variation as possible.
- We would be happy to wind your skeins into cakes at no cost, please leave a message at checkout if you'd like that. Otherwise your yarn will be shipped in skeins
- We use acid dyes that result in vibrant permanent colours. It is recommended to handwash a ready item in cool water with as little movement as possible for best results. Some colours may bleed at first wash.
