Characteristics:

100% Superwash Merino Wool

115g (4 oz.), 1 ply, 397 metres (434 yrds)

Ingrid is your single yarn that has a lot of character as a stand-alone yarn and Ingrid is no ply-er. Don’t be fooled by its unassuming lack of plies, Ingrid is a delicate dancer so it’s ideal for garments that require drape and movement. Single ply wool works up beautifully in shawls for its softness and it gets better with age. So give this one a go in your wearable projects. We just don’t suggest using it for socks, but give it a try anyway, we aren’t the fibre police.

Eliza’s notes:

Our love for single ply wool came from using yarns created by Eisaku Noro, a coveted fibre company rooted in Japan that masters the harmony of using colour, texture and creativity in yarn making. One-ply wool is fuzzy in texture and has minimal twist so you won’t see defined texture in itself but when it’s knitted up, this understated fibre base makes a bold statement.

Good things to know:

Using great hand-dyed yarns come with great responsibilities. Just kidding. But there are some things we want you to know:

• Each skein is coloured with care in a ‘hand-dye’ process, meaning we apply colour to each skein of yarn by hand. Variegations and irregularities can occur even if fibres are treated in the same dye lot or batch. All skeins are unique!

• We suggest purchasing enough yarn for your project use and alternate skeins for even colouring.

• Care: we recommend hand-washing cold, squeeze or spin dry and dry flat. 

• We photograph our products in a light controlled environment and we try our best to display colour accuracy that are true to each batch. Please note that colours can still translate differently between monitors.
