DK weight · 231 yards · 85% superwash merino, 15% neon donegal nepThe neps in this yarn do something genuinely fun: they resist the dye, so they stay bright and prominent against whatever colorway Vanessa puts them in. Under UV light, they glow. In regular light, they read as a lively tweed effect — fluorescent orange and yellow flecks scattered through soft, saturated merino. The base itself is smooth and even, with good stitch definition and the kind of softness you’d expect from superwash merino at DK weight.Vanessa hand dyes in her New Jersey studio, drawing color inspiration from the sea and shore. Each skein is small-batch and one of a kind in the way hand-dyed yarn always is — your order is for one skein; the four shown are to give you a sense of the color variation.Works beautifully for hats, shawls, scarves, and any project where you want a little visual texture without the fuss of actual colorwork.A few pattern ideas: Sophie Shawl Autumn Alpine Blomstra Hat Bonnet No 1 City Edition Sophie Scarf Fir Rib Skinny Scarf
