Pure Merino - SPACE BERRIES

Description

Please note: This is the first yarn my young teen handpainted with Kool-Aid (his younger brother did another), and I promised him that if anyone purchased his yarn, he would get the proceeds! :)

Worsted
100% Merino Wool
3-ply
approx. 223 yards

Gauge: 20 sts & 26 rows = 4" square using size 7 (4.5mm) needles

This is a basic merino wool that's great for soakers, hats, mittens, scarves and felting projects! Hand wash in cool water, lay flat to dry.

(For a similar wool yarn, see our Pure Peruvian.)

Each skein of yarn that I dye is in a one-of-a-kind colorway unless I do two or three skeins at once using the same method for each.

Most of them are dyed using Jacquard acid dyes, but I will also use Wilton's icing colors or Kool-Aid (or a combination of two or three of those) to get the colors and/or effects that I want to achieve.

There are also a variety of hand-dyeing techniques and methods that I employ to create my yarn colors, but my preferred method is kettle-dyeing. I love the subtle variation of color and the gentle blending of the various shades that can be achieved with this method.

Yarns can be wound into center-pull cakes before shipping if preferred.

If you have any questions or ideas (thoughts, criticisms, praise), please leave me a message and I'll reply as soon as I can. Thanks for looking!
