Lace Time – Twilight Brocade

Price is per skein. Approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 885m (968yd). 2-ply, 100% Superwash Merino.

We are very proud of this colourway, which pushes the limits of what is possible with kettle dyeing. Flashes of rose, salmon, green-gold, pale blue, sage-green and rusty-wine are all brought together on one yarn. Semi-repeating but unpredictably random at the same time.

Lace Time – Vampire

Price is per skein. Approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 885m (968yd). 2-ply, 100% Superwash Merino.

A gorgeous effect, with a ground tone of rich scarlet-red, overlaid with smoky black. Any vampire would be thrilled to wear socks or a scarf made from this colourway. Random dyed, no repeat. This looks similar to "Roasted Red Peppers" at first glance but "Vampire" is a brighter scarlet and the black is washed over, rather than painted on like grill marks.

Lace Time Natural – 1-Lb Value Pack

100% Superwash Merino wool. Lace weight, 2-ply. Approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 885m (968yd). Gauge: because of the open work in lace knitting, gauge is seldom given for lace weight yarns. Follow your pattern recommendations for best results. Laundering: Machine wash cool, tumble dry on low, hang or dry flat. The same base yarn we use for our Lace Time™ line. The spin is smooth and soft. While at first it might seem strange to choose Superwash Merino for a fine lace shawl, it's a good choice if you are knitting for others and don't know about their laundering decisions. Because of the superwash wool this is not suitable for felting. This yarn takes dye beautifully, whether you are using acid dyes, food colouring, Kool-aid or even natural dyes. Just bear in mind that Superwash yarn strikes with acid dyes so quickly that it can be very tricky to get a decent solid tone. Use that to your advantage like we do, to get interesting semi-solids or go crazy with hand painting. We highly recommend this yarn to first-time dyers! Dyed colourways of Lace Time™ are listed under Yarns > Dyeguy PRODUCT of CANADA Price for 4 skeins, approximately 115g each. A 15% savings on our regular price.
