MERYLON 75/25 (NEW): Approximately 100g/487yds 75/25 superwash Merino wool/nylon in a 4-ply put-up. This is an excellent offering of the ubiquitous 75/25 fine fingering/sock yarn that is so useful and versatile. *I have found a local supplier and and shifting over to this base which is slightly softer and with a bit more yardage.*
These were kettle-dyed a medium tonal turquoise-teal base then speckled with rust, orange, gold, copper-brown and a little dark green and violet. Please alternate hanks if using more than one - each hank is slightly different, as is each batch of this colourway. Two socks knit with the same hank will not be identical. Multiple bases are shown to depict the colourway.
This is a lovely, soft (but tough) 4-ply yarn - plump and round with nice sheen. It's great for just about any light fingering weight project and will result in soft, hardy accessories and garments perfect for next-to-skin wear. If you knit socks, tightening the gauge slightly will ensure iron-like wear. It’s quite fine but also soft and tough!
While this is superwash treated, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
