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 deep charcoal/iron grey, black-ish, slightly tonal, and have a small amount of rust, brown and black speckling. They tend toward the cooler side of grey but to me look fairly neutral. With the speckling they’d go nicely with a warm grey, too (Back Deck or Charred or Rusty Bucket). Note that a different base is pictures but accurately depicts 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, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
