Woolpedia Colors Merino Doubles

Material: 75% merino wool, 25% polyamide

Hand dyed
Each yarn skein is a unique dye!
Please note that each skein may vary in color, brightness, gradient, or size of swabs.

This skein is dyed double-threaded. That means you would get 2 identical cuffs / socks / hats, etc. even if it is a unique handdye.

Doubles tend to stripes and to create “marble-cake” shapes.

Care instructions:

Washable at max. 40°C
Handwash recommended

do not iron, do not tumble dry, no fabric softener

Please only dry lying flat. Gently press the water out of your finished project, don’t wring your work. Place your project on a flat surface (e.g. towel), shape it and let it dry.

Projects made with merino wool do not absorb the smell of sweat and do not smell like synthetic yarns. Wool clothes do not have to be washed several times. Simple airing is often enough. Wool is dirt-repellent. Wash only if heavily soiled. This is a big advantage over synthetic clothing, which is changed almost daily. Saves electricity, water, detergent and time. This is not unhygienic.

Hand-dyed wool may lose color when washed for the first time.
