Natural Lace Yarn @ The Fibre Garden
Lace Time Natural – skein
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 per skein. Approximately 115g.

Socky-Talky Bluestone
Socky-Talky Bluestone
Price per skein, approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 389m (426yd). 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Nylon.

Not as close to "Denim Jacket" as it looks, this is a medium-soft blue overlaid with black for a very moody, broody sort of effect. We did it to expand our range of "guy colours" and it's real handsome.

Socky-Talky Bubblegum Blues
Price is per skein, approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 389m (426yd). 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Nylon.

NEW! Dyeguy is trying out some new techniques and here's one of the first out of the kettle. Deep denim blue and bubblegum pink collide in places, giving tinges of plum and violet. There is a basic colour change about every 12 inches with random overlays and splashes for a sort-of-repeats-but-not-quite effect.

Socky-Talky Bumblebee
Socky-Talky Bumblebee
Price is per skein, approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 389m (426yd). 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Nylon.

Haven't we all wanted to knit bumblebee socks?? Glowing yellow is combined with black - well, really a deep midnight green but it looks black from 5 feet away. Not self-striping like a wasp, this will more likely pool like the patterning on a fuzzy bumblebee.

Socky-Talky Confused Hydrangea
Socky-Talky Confused Hydrangea
Price per skein, approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 389m (426yd). 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Nylon.

Somewhat striping with soft pink and blue, streaked here and there with mauve, rose, violet, pale pink and a touch of white. When Hydrangeas are grown in neutral or slightly acidic soil sometimes they can't decide if they are pink or blue so they're somewhere in the middle.

There is a colour change every 12 inches or so, but random layers on top of that for a "sort-of-repeats-but-not-quite" effect. PRODUCT of CANADA
