"White Horses" - hand dyed yarn

Colourway: "White Horses". Beautiful shade of silver grey that will compliment brighter colours as a contrast of work well on its own.

Available on the following yarn bases (read more about them here and check out some sample photos):

• Lace BFL/Silk: 80% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester/20% Silk. Each skein is 800m (874 yards) / 100g (3.5 oz). This is a very luxurious yarn blend, it has a gorgeous subtle sheen due to the silk content. This yarn is a true pleasure to craft with - it is smooth, but warm, and it would work perfectly for any item due to the Superwash BFL content. Shawls, blouses, jumpers - this yarn will make a beautiful item that will stand out. Try pairing it with Kid Silk Mohair to add some bulk for a colder weather!
• 4ply/Fingering Sock: Superwash 75% merino / 25% nylon. Each skein is 425m (464 yards) / 100g (3.5 oz). This yarn is perfect for socks and for other lighter garments, for example, scarves and shawls.

• DK Sparkle Sock: Superwash 75% merino / 22% nylon / 3% silver sparkle. Each skein is 225m (246 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). BFL yarn does not need to have nylon in it to be durable and suitable for making socks which makes it a great alternative to synthetic blends.
• DK SW merino: 100% Superwash merino. Each skein is 225m (246 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz). 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

Baby Alpaca adds warmth and texture, it is strong and lightweight, where silk adds shiny smooth lustre and cashmere makes it unbelievably soft. It is such a pleasure to craft with it and can truly make a memorable and unique item.
• Aran MCN: 80% Superwash Merino Wool / 10% Cashmere / 10% Nylon. Each skein is 166m (181 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz). This is a luxury squishy yarn that would make a beautiful soft item
• Aran Donegal Tweed: 85% Superwash Merino/15% Donegal nep in black, white and tan.  Each skein is 166m (181 yds) per 100g (3.5 oz). This yarn is super soft and warm and will make a quick knit. Merino yarn is smooth and squishy, while Donegal nep adds gorgeous tweed specks here and there complimenting any pattern. It will not overpower lace or cable patterns and will work for any item.

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.
