per 100 g skein · 246 yd
Hand-dyed in small batches in Cork, Ireland. Dyelots may vary though we represent every dyelot as accurately as possible in the product photos. Colours may vary from skein to skein, even within the same dyelot. If you buy more than one, we will do our best to match them up. Please ensure you buy enough to finish your project as future dyelots may vary. Please note, although we take great care in photographing our yarns, colours may vary slightly from monitor to monitor.
Approx. 100g/225m, 10% Alpaca, 90% Merino wool, superwash.
Gentle hand wash recommended.
From the maker: Hedgehog Fibres
DK weight yarn, 10% Alpaca, 90% Merino wool, superwash. With a slight halo and extra warmth from Alpaca this DK weight yarn is just dreamy. At 225m/100g it is loftier and less dense than our Merino DK, while maintaining the same bright and crisp colours. Wonderful for anything from sweaters to accessories. Sold in approx. 100g skeins/225m. Gentle machine wash, delicate cycle.
