PURPLE IRIS Hand Dyed on Dream Fingering - Block Variegated Colorway

The inspiration for this colorway came from the beautiful purple irises in our next-door-neighbor's yard. The yarn is a block variegated colorway with blocks of eggplant, soft lavender, daffodil yellow, and spring green. YARN BASE I dyed it on Dream Fingering, which is an incredibly soft and luxurious yarn base made of 70% baby alpaca, 20% mulberry silk, and 10% cashmere. It is a 3-ply yarn with 437 yards per 3.5 ounce skein. This is a non-superwash yarn, so it definitely should be washed by hand in cool water so as not to felt. Not only is this yarn base the softest thing I've ever felt, it's an excellent choice for those who are sensitive to sheep's wool.
