OOAK batch ~ lawn | fingering/4ply (100g) ~ herb garden

This bamboo/linen blend is completely plant-based. It feels and knits like linen/flax yarn and the colours are soft and heathered. It doesn't have any stretch or give and feels hard to work with initially but with handling and wear it soften beautifully and garments made with this block nicely and will wear well for many years. Perfect for spring tees, shawls, and lightweight cardigans and sweaters, this vegan yarn can also be used as both warp and weft for weaving. Lawn is currently dyed in small OOAK batches and these two shades were inspired by a herb garden filled with sage, chives, rosemary & thyme... a soft tonal pink and a cool green with bronzey pink variegation. Hand wash in cool water to preserve the fibres and the vibrancy of the dye. As with all small-batch, hand-dyed yarn that doesn't have dye lots, we also recommend knitting alternate rows from two skeins when working on larger projects to avoid noticeable changes between skeins. We use professional Procion dyes to dye plant fibres and do our best to exhaust every dye bath but plant fibres dyed in this way can continue to release dye after rinsing so please bear this in mind if you are mixing shades in a single project. We reuse water wherever possible to reduce any further environmental impact. weight: fingering/4ply fibre: 70% bamboo, 30% linen needle size: 2.25-3.50mm depending on gauge required metres: 400m per 100g skein care: hand wash in cool water with gentle wool detergent
