MERICASH LUX: Approximately 100g/438 yards 70/20/10 superwash Merino wool/silk/cashmere. This is fingering weight, a luxurious 3-ply base.
These were dyed in a crowded pot with washes of red, fuchsia, mahogany and scarlet then speckled lightly on top with hot pink, yellow, bordeaux and scarlet. They are variegated and each hank is unique though all share the same colours. The silk content makes for a more watercolour-like effect. Please alternate hanks if using more than one. Note that the yarns pictured are on various bases but reasonably depict the colourway.
This is a buttery soft, truly sumptuous yarn with great stitch definition, which makes just about any project extra-gorgeous. It’s wonderful next-to-skin and it has lovely drape and is silky soft and shiny.
Despite its superwash designation, please hand wash in cool water and air dry flat to maintain optimum colour and texture. This is a very luxurious base.
