Hand dyed in Nova Scotia, this is a great sock yarn and versatile enough for other fingering weight projects. With tons of length, the yarn is ideal for a longer sock or shawlette pattern. The dyer recommends additional care for the first wash: "To block your garment, add a good splash of vinegar to hot bath water. Although we make every effort to ensure that our yarns are rinsed well, different water conditions in your area may cause some colours to bleed. By using the above technique for your first wash, this should eliminate any possibility of spoiling your project. To keep your yarns bright and happy, I suggest that you hand wash your finished garments with cold water, rinse well and lay flat to dry on a clean towel.
