Merino/yak/silk is a luxury blend that makes a soft, elastic yarn with a velvety feel. These 3 ply skeins are super smooth and totally skin-friendly. The spindled singles were chain plied to retain the turquoise, olive and chartreuse colour sequence in the hand dyed fibre.
I have included photos of the fibre before it was spun and some in-progress shots so you can see the individual colours more clearly.
Handpun yarn is unique and slightly imperfect, with gentle variations in thickness throughout the length.
The yarn was spindle spun by me in my smoke-free, cat-friendly home.
I recommend that you hand wash the precious item you create with this yarn in cool water and air dry flat. Even superwash yarns benefit from this gentle treatment.
Your monitor may show colours a little differently from mine. Capturing colour can be a tricky thing and I do my best to show colours accurately. You can contact me to ask specific questions about the colour or anything else.
