Bach DK is a blend of 70% GOTS certified organic merino and 30% Belgian linen for a soft, eco-friendly yarn hand-dyed in small batches – it is truly special. The linen provides its classic drape, artisan look (the linen resists the dye), and a touch of lightness. The wool brings its soft springy squish, adding memory, combining to create a really versatile yarn you will want to use again and again. Bach DK is perfect for sweaters, hats, and shawls.

Gauge: 20 stitches x 26 rows on a 4.5 mm needle, however, gauge/needle size is flexible depending on the fabric you desire. Skeins are approximately 100g / 233m (255yds). All Prosper yarns are hand-dyed in our Auckland studio. Hand wash, dry flat.
