These skeins have beautiful tones of chestnut brown, gold, forest green and Caribbean blue. Some have more brown and some have more of the blue/green/gold. They will knit or crochet up beautifully if you alternate skeins.

Merino wool is soft and warm. Blending in a bit of Nylon adds strength and hardiness.
Recommended: Hand wash cold/Lay flat to dry
The beauty of hand dying is each hank has its own unique color. No two hanks are alike.
I make every effort to represent colors as accurately as possible, however, colors may vary from monitor to monitor and device to device.
I have taken every effort to make sure colors won’t bleed, but I recommend that for the first few washing’s you wash your item separately or with like colors, to prevent bleeding. NOTE: Most tap water has a higher than desirable pH level (for hand-dyed wool).
You can neutralize this by simply adding 2
tablespoons, per gallon of water, of white
vinegar to your wash water. That will
neutralize the pH levels and help maintain
the vibrant colors.
