Description
Hand dyed yarn - merino cashmere angora wine red purple grey blue
<br />The base yarn for this is a skein of 80% merino wool, 10% cashmere and 10% angora.The yarn was commercially spun with a fairly high twist to reduce the risk of pilling but it is still soft and springy. It is approx. dk weight (see photo against 1 inch measure for accurate gauge). I hand dyed this one with a different technique - it was dip dyed several times to produce shades of air force grey blue and purple varying in intensity.The last pictures show the yarn before reskeining to give you an idea of the colour blocks.
<br />
<br />This is 1 skein, approx. 165 yards and 50grams
