Introducing a new sweater~season micro-collection... // elements // comprises six shades, inspired by a palette taken directly from the forest floor. mizzle | fingering is a 3-ply fingering weight yarn spun from a 50/50 non-superwash blend of British Wensleydale and Peruvian merino, it's a 'toothy' light fingering yarn with the characteristic Wensleydale 'crinkle' and a soft halo. Perfect for colourwork and on its own. I dyed six shades inspired by weathered-smooth fallen ash, jewels of fungus and lichen, and shafts of late afternoon sunlight through an evergreen canopy. From cool putty beige to deepest darkest forest green with soft old gold, lavender leaning mid-grey, cool sage green, and rich earthy, woody charcoal in between. shadow ~ deepest almost-black forest green lichen ~ palest sage green windfall ~ soft sandy gold deadwood ~ cool putty beige pewter ~ lavender leaning gun metal grey truffle ~ rich woody charcoal Non-superwash yarn can require a little more thought and attention to care but the rewards are plentiful! Fibres that haven't been superwash treated tend to have more memory, bite, and structural interest, and the lack of chemical/processing intervention makes them better for the environment. mizzle | fingering weight: fingering/sock or equivalent fibre: 50% wool - non-superwash wensleydale, 50% wool - non-superwash merino needle size: 2,25 - 3.50mm metres: 425m per 100gm skein care: Hand wash in cold water using gentle wool detergent
