MERINOH! Euro: Approximately 150g/822 yards superwash merino wool. This is a heavy lace weight yarn; a fine, soft six-ply base.
These were kettle-dyed a bright mottled pink/magenta/hot pink using all my bright pink dyes. Then they were speckled with fuchsia, hot pink, bordeaux, yellow, red, caramel and a bit of grey. The hanks are not twisted prior to speckling so coverage is more random. This is a highly variegated, bright colourway and each hank is slightly different. Oink Ponk you ask? My two most common typos when I am writing “pink” ;) A different base may be pictured but reasonably represents the colourway.
With lovely drape, a soft hand, a little sheen and good stitch definition, this multi-ply base functions well as a lace yarn or a fingering yarn, especially for shawls and cowls where gauge is not critical or the pattern is adaptable to the amount of yarn you have. It is also suitable for a swingy sweater, tee or baby garments.
While this is superwash treated, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
