Sock Gems - 4ply
£17.50
This is a fantastically soft 4ply yarn consisting of 75% superwash merino wool and 25% Nylon. Each skein is 100g and measures 400m (435 yards) and is suitable for those finer projects such as shawls, gloves, boleros, socks etc. As a superwash it can be washed in a machine on a suitable wool wash but as with all handyded yarns this is not recommended so a gentle hand wash, dry flat and please don't tumble dry.
Merino Super Chunky
£25.00
An amazingly soft single ply Super Chunky in 100% pure Merino wool, hand dyed by David. The skein weighs 200 grams and is approximately 130 metres. Tension is 3 stiches / 3 rows per inch and is knitted on 10mm to 12 mm needles. Please be aware this yarn is not a superwash and therefore requires hand washing at 30 deg, dry flat and please do not tumble dry. As with all of David's yarns "No Skein is the Same" as a result if you are working on a project using two or more skeins then the advice would be to knit/crochet a couple of rows/chains then alternate with the second skein to ensure continuity of colour throughout the project. Very occasionally you may find small patches of lighter yarn as a result of the dying process used, this is entirely normal.
