60% Non Mulesed SRS Australian Merino / 40% Alpaca
Meterage is ~ 340m / weight 100g.
This worsted spun 4 ply construction yarn is ultra soft & smooth with a beautiful shine. The knitted fabric is drapey without being floppy, so that all the lovely benefits of Alpaca fibre may be enjoyed supported with the structure and bounce of Merino.
Produced by Kirchelly Textiles, this single origin, non-super wash yarn is a new type of Merino. SRS (Soft Rolling Skin) Merino are bred to be non-wrinkled and plain bodied, making them naturally resistant to fly-strike and thus removing the need for mulesing in these flocks, resulting in better welfare. This trait also means that the shearer can clip closer to the body, and less frequently, resulting in longer fibres and over generations is projected to result in finer fibres.
Use: Works beautifully for light-mid weight garments and accessories such as sweaters, cowls, mitts, beanies and shawls.
Care: Gentle hand wash and dry flat in shade.
This yarn will be dyed to order and will ship in approximately four weeks.
The listed price is for one skein.
Hand dyed in small batches using professional quality acid dyes and heat set to ensure colours that will last.
Please ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the same time, as colours between dye batches can vary. Even within the same dye batch skeins will vary - that is the beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn - every skein is unique and individual.
Every effort has been made to remove any excess dye from the yarn, however a little may remain, particularly with dark and rich colours. It is therefore recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects on their own, in cold water, with wool wash or a mild detergent.
