This is lovely North Island Romney lambswool (first shearing) and has been spun and kettle dyed into different vibrant shades. Will be lovely for colourwork and reminds me of yarn used for fairisle. Weight/ply: Light Worsted DK or 8 ply Fibre: Romney lambswool Meterage: 210m (230 yd) 100g Needles: 3.75 to 4.5 mm (US 5 to 7) 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. Kettle dyed yarn is fully submerged in a dye bath and produces a "semi solid" or tonal effect. Once again, the small batch, small mill effect is part of its Little Mill Over the Hill character. 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. Show more
