Description
A 50:50 Mulberry Silk and Superwash Merino blended lace weight yarn this has the shine and drape of silk, with the softness of merino yarn. I love this blend so much that I also have it in 4ply and DK.
I dye all of these colours regularly, but 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.

So soft, squishy and the colour was sublime. It encouraged me to buy more yarn which is Stand by Me in DK. This feels as divine as the lace.

Beautiful yarn, with lovely delicate colour gradations. Had bought on the basis of a picture in a knitting magazine, and it has exceeded my expectations. Really looking forward to knitting with it!

The yarn felt very nice quality but I had to return it as it was an ombre not a gradient
