Hand dyed 8 ply Australian merino wool and cotton blend yarn, in nature inspired colourway Tide Pool! 60% Australian merino wool and 40% Australian cotton yarn, this yarn is dyed in skeins in small batches with vegan friendly fibre reactive dyes. Because this is fibre reactive dye, the dye bonds to the fibres and is very stable. The colours in this yarn are inspired by tide pools and shallow water at low tide. the colours are representative of sunlight refracting through the shallow pools of water. The base yarn is milled in Victoria, so this is a 100% Australian produced item. The skeins are hand dyed by me in Canberra Australia. Yarn details: Colour: Tide Pool 60% Merino wool 40% cotton 8ply yarn 100g/ skein 200 Metres per 100g Colours: blend of Aqua tones on a white base Recommend Needle size: 4mm Recommended tension: (10x10cm) 20 stitches to 24 rows The mix of colours in this skein creates a really beautiful verigated colour pooling effect when knitted or crocheted. Because this yarn is hand dyed, there is a very small chance of colour bleeding. All care has been taken to remove excess dye, and all my yarns are pre-washed and rinsed. It is unlikely it will bleed, but still possible. If this is a concern, it is recommended that you add vinegar to the water when washing to prevent colour transferring.

I only use recycled and biodegradable material in my packaging. For clothing, I do re-use plastic bags to keep them from getting wet in transit. Reusing old bags reduces the need to make new ones. Wherever possible I do avoid plastic packaging. Thank you for looking!
