Hand dyed superwash merino, nylon and silver stellina DK yarn in colourway Twig. Just like our other merino sparkle yarns, Silverdale DK is a blend of superwash merino for softness, nylon for durability and a strand of silver stellina giving a subtle sparkle. It's smooth and squishy - just what you'd expect really, and is perfect for garments, shawls and pretty much anything else! 75% Superwash Merino, 15% Nylon, 10% Silver Stellina 100g 225m/246yds 3.5 - 4.5mm needles (US 4-7) 3.5 - 5mm hook (US E - G) 12 WPI Machine washable on a gentle cycle (although we recommend handwashing all handknits/crochet if possible) Lay flat to dry We recommend that you wash dark colours separately or wash a swatch before using dark and light colours together. As with all hand dyed yarns, I would strongly advise that you use two skeins at a time, alternating from each one every couple of rows/rounds.
