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!
Lovely wool. Soft but sturdy. Knits up well in garter or stockinette stitch. The colours in this are wonderful; they look like oil paint smudges you'd find on Gaugin's painting palette. Simple patterns would be best suited for this colourway as it's rather busy for its effect. A delight for the eyes and hands. Bright and joyful, with just enough peppery fire to surprise, the scarf/shawl I'm knitting will certainly be an subtle attention grabber, like a breath-taking summer's sunset.
