Thick and Thin Merino
Handspun thick and thin bulky merino yarn, spun from hand painted and dyed fine merino wool, put up in skeins of 50 yards each. Typical skeins weigh from 2 to 2.5 oz.
Thicker yarn “slubs” are fairly evenly spaced, creating an interesting texture from simple stitches.
Coverage: Using a size Q crochet hook and hdc stitch, 50 yards will make a rectangle that’s approximately 18”x10” (180 sq. inches). Using size 17 needles, 50 yards will make a rectangle that’s approximately 16”x13” (208 sq. inches).
Available in a wide variety of solid, semi-solid and hand painted colors at http://www.hookaholichandspun.etsy.com
Needle and hook size will vary depending upon project. Smaller hooks and needles will make for a more dense, compact fabric.
This is not a superwash product and will felt. Care must be taken when washing.
Soaking in a wool wash with tepid water is recommended. Air dry.
