Description

Merino – Blue Mottled.  One of the finest and softest wools in the world.  Perfect for next to the skin wear, like shawls and baby garments.  The yarn was finished as a single ply yarn which gives it a soft and delicate texture.

The fibre was professionally dyed and block colours were spun together to form a graduating colour scheme. This technique of spinning is best suited to create garments such as shawls to show the colour graduation to its best advantage.

It is finished as a single ply yarn which gives it a soft and delicate texture. The fibre has been left on the bobbin for at least a week before being wound into a skein.  This is in order to allow the twist settle and remove any trapped energy in the twist. It has then been washed and ‘thwacked’ to remove any further energised twists that may still be in the yarn.
The yarn thickness is within the 1” notch of the wooden gauge.
