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. Dyed with black walnut growing in my garden. Historically, walnut dyes were valued not only for the beautiful brown shades they produced but also for their natural insect- and moth-repellent properties. This effect is largely due to juglone, a naturally occurring compound found in walnut trees—especially in black walnut husks and leaves. Juglone acts as part of the tree’s natural defence system, helping to deter insects and other pests. How good isn't that? 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.
