Description
100% Superwash Merino sock yarn ithat is soft, spongey and very long – at 450m/100g you may even have enough for 2 pairs. It is exceptional value too. It is listed as a 3ply yarn becuase the wholesalers have recently changed the description. Hence, you might have a skein that says 4ply on it… It’s still the same yarn.
Dyed in a variety of different styles from gradient yarns and semi-solids with speckles to some with just speckles, and even my most popular colourway – Let There Be More Light.
A couple of things to bear in mind about hand dyed yarn:
- No two skeins are ever the same, even if they have been dyed in the same pot. For larger projects I recommend you knit with two skeins and alternate every other row for consistency and to prevent pooling.
- 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.
