80% Superwash Merino wool / 20% Nylon. Fingering weight, 3-ply. Approximately 115g (4.06 oz), 389m (426yd). Gauge: 2.25-3.25mm needles. 6 to 8 stitches = 1 inch, or as pattern requires. Laundering: Machine wash cool, tumble dry on low, hang or dry flat. The same base yarn we use for our Socky-talky™ line. The spin is smooth and soft, yet with the nylon component it offers the durability needed for socks and active wear. Truly a workhorse fingering weight yarn! 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 Socky-Talky™ are listed under Yarns > Dyeguy PRODUCT of CANADA Price for 4 skeins, approximately 115g each. A 15% savings on our regular price.
