About this yarn: 64% Kid Mohair, 36% Grade A Mulberry Silk 420m per 50g Needle size: 3.25-8 Non Superwash This is a beautiful yarn to knit on its own or held together with another yarn. It works wonderfully for adding softness to your projects. I especially love knitting with mohair either paired with another yarn or on its own on larger needles, such as 7 mm, to create an airy, lofty fabric. Hand-dyed with onion skins from my local farmshop and Saxon Blue, a natural liquid dye from a recipe from around 1740. Care InstructionsHand wash gently using a pH-neutral liquid detergent. Do not tumble dry or dry clean. Dry flat and store away from direct sunlight. Please Note. This is a hand-dyed product, using plant dyes. While every effort is made to remove plant material after the dyeing process, small traces may occasionally remain.A slight release of colour may occur during the first wash; this will not affect the overall colour fastness. Please alternate skeins when knitting with more than one skein. Colours are photographed as accurately as possible, but may vary slightly depending on your screen settings.
