MERIBELLA 70/30 Fingering Singles: Approximately 100g/438 yards 70/30 superwash Merino wool/silk. This is a luxurious singles light fingering yarn.
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 colourway and each hank is slightly different. Two socks knit from the same hank will not be identical. Oink Ponk you ask? My two most common typos when I am writing “pink” ;) Note the pictures are of a different base but accurately depict the colourway.
This is a sleek, soft, light fingering singles with a fairly tight twist. This yarn is quite fine and won’t plump much more with blocking. It will make a lovely shawl, scarf or swingy cardi, but it would be good for just about anything fine-gauged, worn next to the skin. It has lovely drape, is silky soft and shiny. Over time it will develop a very slight halo.
While this is superwash treated, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
