Mulberino 4ply Tonals
£21.00
A Mulberry Silk Superwash Merino blended delicate 4ply yarn in a variety of semi-solid colours. Perfect for shawls, jumpers and socks. These are usually dyed in fairly small batches so don’t hang around – if you see something you like my advice is buy it! The next batch may be slightly different. If you want a larger quantity please let me know. I also have a selection of variegated colours in this yarn that work perfectly with these colours.
A 50:50 Mulberry Silk: Superwash Merino blended 4ply yarn this has the glimmer and drape of silk, with the softness of merino yarn. It literally shines. These semi-solid colours work beautifully with the speckled versions of this yarn as well as working well on a number of kits.
Most of these colours are named after songs by Paul Simon and/or Art Garfunkel - which seemed fitting. If the colour you want is showing as out of stock, or you want a larger quantity you can order it here and I will dye it for you at no extra cost. There is a minimum of 2 skeins per colourway. Alternatively you can join the waitlist to receive an email when it’s back in stock.
A few things to bear in mind when using hand dyed yarn:
- No two skeins are ever the same, even if they have been dyed in the same pot. If consistency is important and/or to prevent colour pooling I strongly recommend you knit with two skeins and alternate every other row, particularly on larger projects. If you only have one skein, then you can use both ends at once.
- Whilst every effort has been taken to ensure colour-fastness, there is a chance that some residual dye may remain (this is normal - think jeans...) I suggest hand washing all garments in cool water prior to being worn and keep bright colours separate. I also advise against soaking your finished item as the colours can bleed.
- It is not possible to work directly from a skein/hank. It must be wound into a ball before use, or will get into a terrible tangle. For more information on how to do this there are hundreds of videos on YouTube. Alternatively for a small fee I can do it for you here.
