Mulberino HT

Description

Mulberino High Twist (HT)  is a sport weight yarn, which is slightly thicker than 4ply, at 366m/100g but it’s pretty interchangeable, just remember that you will need slightly more of it. It is 80% Superwash Merino and 20% Silk, and its high twist gives a great stitch definition. I have dyed up 4 colourways which are similar and will work beautifully together or on their own.

A few things to bear in mind when using hand dyed yarn:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
