Teddy - [DK]

Characteristics:

100% Fine Merino Wool

100g (3.5 oz.), 1 ply, 220 metres (240 yrds)

Teddy is cuddly, curly and packs a novelty punch! Part of our specialty yarn line up, this yarn base is fun to dye and fun to knit! It's non-superwash so do pay attention to washing your project gently, as you would to your beloved teddy bear! Teddy is DK weight (but I'd say it knits up just a smidge thicker than DK) with its crimped thick and thin texture. Give this yarn base a go for projects like vests, cardis, hats, balaclavas, mittens basically anything!!! 

Eliza’s notes:

Try pairing a single strand of mohair/silk (m&s) lace to a solid colour base and you’ll be surprised by how much colour this unassuming silky strand can offer!

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 cool, 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.
