This hand-dyed sock yarn is made of 85% merino wool and 15% nylon.
Each skein is hand-dyed with care and contains 400 meters (434 yards) of soft and washable yarn to knit socks, shawls or any other project to be worn next to the skin!
A lovely quality of yarn. It's a bit finer than I'm used to, but it works up very well and is extremely forgiving if you need to rip out. The stitch definition is excellent too. My only complaint is that the actual colour saturation is MUCH darker. It looks NOTHING like the image, and this is taking into consideration screen monitor differences etc. I was hoping for something very much like shown, but instead have a dark teal base with dark maroon hits. It's very deceptive and as a result, I've had to attempt many different patterns in order to compliment the wool's hues and saturations. This has been extremeky trying and frustrating, which has been very disappointing. But the QUALITY of the wool/yarn is truly wonderful. Soft and forgiving, and an absolute pleasure to knit. In the end, I'd offer a higher rating, if it wasn't for the colour issue, which really was very surprising.
