Hedgehog Fibres - Merino DK
Merino DK
per 100 g skein · 219 yd
100g hand dyed Merino DK weight yarn. Approx. 200m per 100g. Smooth, soft, non-scratchy yarn with a tighter twist and round profile. Great all purpose workhorse yarn, next to the skin soft. Wonderful stitch definition and great loft.
Colours shift beautifully from one to another. Randomly dyed to prevent striping or pooling, as much as possible, our yarns create variegated effect that looks good in plain stockinette or advanced stitch motifs.
Machine washable (handwash recommended please see FAQs). Approx. 200m/100g. 100% Merino wool, superwash, mulesing free.
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.
