Description
Pure Merino 4ply is the latest addition to my collection. Made from 100% Superwash Merino, it is very similar in look and feel to Platinum Sock. However, several customers wanted a 4ply yarn without the nylon hence why I now stock this too. It is the same price, and offers exceptional value too.
I have only dyed a couple of colourways so far, but as with all my yarns, I can dye any of my colourways on any of my bases at no extra cost. So, just choose your colour, and then head over the Bespoke Yarn and place an order.
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.
- 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.
