Corriedale roving blended with hand dyed silk in pinks, green and brown. Reminiscent of pink sweetpeas. Very varied from one skein to another. All the colour comes from the hand dyed silk . Silk slubs may be present. Weight/ply: Heavy DK / Worsted Weight (8 to 10 ply) Fibre: Corriedale / silk Meterage: 190m (207 yd) / 100g Recommended needles: 4.5 to 5.5mm (7 to 9 US) Approximate gauge: Due to the nature of my small batch mill, yarn is not like fully commercial yarn and often looks more like a handspun with variations in thickness throughout the yarn. Each batch is measured on a McMorrin scale to give an approximate length per 100g. Please enjoy the non-commercial qualities of the yarn. Care Instructions: All of my yarn is non-superwash. Gentle wash with appropriate product such as Powerscour® Fibre wash. Do not wring. Towel dry and then lay flat until completely dry (in the shade). With pure wool only occasional washing is recommended.
