NATURALLY DYED SILK-MERINO

This is a very smooth, very soft, medium-twist 3-ply yarn made from 50% silk and 50% merino. It gives very good stitch definition, so it’s ideal for cables and lace. I use it for anything I want to wear against my skin like arm warmers, gloves and mittens, scarves, but also for shawls, baby garments, and many more.

I dyed the yarn with the natural dyestuff carmine (cochenille), which gives it this beautiful smokey, subdued pink.

Two skeins available: 100g / app. 370m; 50g / app. 185m. This listing is for 100g.


The "small" print:
My hand-dyed yarns are non-repeatable runs, which means once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. Please hand wash your yarn with care. Wool labeled “superwash” you can cold machine wash. I take great care to achieve beautiful results that are lightfast and colourfast, but sometimes there is a tiny amount of colour running out of the wool at first, so wash your item separately and keep it away from other items at all times while wet. After a few washes the water should run clear.

NOTE:
I take commissions.

Please pay by bank transfer if you live in New Zealand. Credit card option is offered for overseas customers only.

Please contact me if you live outside of New Zealand.

I will combine postage when possible.

When choosing colours please keep in mind that not all monitors show colours the same.

If you’re not satisfied with your wool you can return it to me in original condition, i. e. with label attached and at your own cost in exchange for different wool or a refund.

I’m a great believer in avoiding waste, and in recycling. That’s why I use recycled packaging materials wherever possible.

If you’re happy with your wool, please let me know and don’t forget to place feedback.
