Description

4ply Gold Sparkle – Years Gone By: 100gram skeins of hand dyed 4ply merino wool yarn with a subtle gold sparkle in a pretty colourway of emerald green, sky blue and salmon pink. A soft but durable yarn, suitable for next-to-skin knitting and crochet projects such as shawls, hats, socks, etc. This is a repeatable colourway, hand dyed in Cornwall.

Knit one 100gram skein into our Lacy Heart Shawl or Triangle Trellis Shawl designs.

Merino is the softest wool yarn available, and is excellent at regulating body temperature, especially when worn against the skin. Merino sheep need to be shorn at least once a year because their wool does not stop growing.
The nylon element adds durability to the yarn, making it ideal for socks.
Gold stellina is a soft polyester/nylon thread spun into the yarn, which adds a subtle golden sparkle to your finished items.
