Special Order for Hallie

DK yarn

100% Merino Wool
100 grams/246 yards

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 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.

Color Matching

Hand dyed yarn is made in dye lots and produced in small quantities. This means that there are a massive amount of factors that can make a colorway change slightly over time.

I use consistent recipes, but can not guarantee that the colorway I made in one lot is the same as the one I dyed in a subsequent lot.

My advise is to buy enough skeins you need for the project from a single dyebath, or ask me to make a custom order if you need more skeins than I have available.

Factors that may change a colorway:
- Hardness of the water at the time of dyeing;
- Production lot of the dye pigments;
- Consistency and make of the yarn;
- Heat settings;
- Using a different scale for the recipe
