Hand dyed donegal tweed yarn - Variegated hand dyed yarn in mostly navy, with rainbow of colors. From Fibre Art Studio on Granville Island, Vancouver, Canada.
Colour way: And the Winner is... (Galaxy Collection). This yarn was hand dyed by Yoriko Oki.
This colour way originally had a name, City Night, and was used as a prize for our Instagram 500 follower giveaway. Despite our anxiety of not having any entries, we had close to 1000 entries and had a blast of time. We change the name of this colour way to And The Winner IS... to remember the excitement!
This yarn is so much fun to knit, as splashes of colours are constantly coming up as you knit. Yet, the result is very elegant and artistic, not over-powered by bright colours. Please give it a try! You probably won't be able to put it down.
Due to the method used for dyeing this colour way, there are greater colour variations depending on the skein. They came from the same batch, but they are all one-of-a-kind yarn!
Would you like to add some rustic touch to your knitting? Try this yarn! The speckles of fibre in neutral colours create interesting colour effect and texture. With the mix of superwash merino and nylon, this yarn is perfect for socks, but also great for shawl, scarves, and sweaters (please note that this yarn is a little thinner and softer than our regular sock yarn, Mighty Elf).
85% superwash merino wool, 15% nylon.
