This mini set was inspired by the wood print 'A Pewter Sea' by Merlyn Chesterman. Video here. This lovely soft 2 ply BFL is ideal for shawls as it has lustre and drape and would show lace stitches well. It is also ideal for sweaters such as The Lovenote by Tin Can Knits and Ranunculus by Midori Hirose held together with mohair/silk lace weight or suri alpaca/silk lace weight. For socks I would recommend a tight gauge and reinforcing toes and heels with a bit of silk or mohair to prolong their life. Yarn: BFL 2ply fingering Mass/length: 5 x 20g minis approx 75m each. Dyed with Oak and Myrobalan. Saturation: mixed Country of Origin: BFL sourced in Britain and spun in Yorkshire. Care: cool, gentle handwash with pH neutral soap and rinse. Blot gently with a towel and block to shape. Yarn has been rinsed clear after dyeing but leave-in wool washes can cause bleeding. Effort is made to capture colours as accurately as possible but monitors etc. differ. Please message if you would like to discuss colours.
