Prosper DK is luxurious, super soft 100% Superwash Merino DK/8ply. A rustic merino with a gorgeous sheen and bounce - perfect for sweaters, shawls, scarves, hats, baby items, and any projects deserving something special. Please note, when these yarns are hand-dyed, the same formula is used each time but skeins may vary one from the other even within the same dye lot. To ensure random colour distribution, we encourage you to work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating on every row in circular knitting and every other row in flat knitting. This blending creates a gorgeous fabric with depth and nuance. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, especially on variegated yarns.. Composition: 100% Superwash Merino Weight: 100g 8ply/Double Knit Length: 225m (246yards) Suggested needle size: 4mm Gauge: 22sts/10cm Recommended Care: Gentle machine wash. Dry flat.
