This yarn is a classic airy mohair blend with extra durability and can be used as a direct hand-dyed alternative to popular lace-weight yarns:

• Drops Kid-Silk (get a hand-dyed unique play of colors with more depth)
• Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair

Suggested pattern ideas:

• As lace-weight: Perfect together with a fingering- or DK-weight wool yarn in projects such as Cumulus Blouse, No Frills Sweater or Novice Sweater (PetiteKnit) to give a luxurious, dappled play of colors.
• Alone / Single strand: Light, feminine shawls, scarves or cowls.

Wash & Care

• Washing instructions: Hand wash cold with gentle wool soap. Gently press the water out in a towel and dry flat.
• Excess dye: Since the yarn is hand-dyed in small batches, a little excess dye may occur during the first wash (especially with dark and saturated berry tones). Always wash dark and light colors separately.

Good to know about hand-dyed yarn

Sisters, not twins

This yarn is hand-dyed with passion.

Skeins from the same dye bath are like sisters – they look alike and have a lot in common, but every single skein is also its own unique work of art.

That is the beauty of hand-dyed yarn.

Tip: For larger projects, it is recommended to alternate between two skeins every other row to achieve a beautiful and even color distribution.
