POLLY 4-PLY: Approximately 100g/438 yards superwash Polwarth wool. This is fingering/sock weight yarn; a fine, strong four-ply base.
These were kettle-dyed a deep purple and washed with black and brown. There is a small amount of dark brown speckles on them. Though they share the same colours each is unique, please alternate hanks if using more than one in a project. A different base is pictured but it reasonably represents the colourway.
Polwarth is a breed of sheep that is 75% Merino crossed with Lincoln. This is a lustrous, soft, sturdy yarn, shiny and slightly “crisp”. It is not as soft as Merino and a little more toothy. It drinks up colour in the dyepot!
While this is superwash, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
