Eco Printed & Hand Painted Bluefaced Leicester 4ply Sock Yarn Mini Skein Set 110g . No17
Regular price
£21.00
Tax included.
This Mini Skein set that has 5 x 22g 100% Bluefaced Leicester sock yarn is ideal for socks and shawls. Its construction and twist ensure it has good durability, which is essential for sock yarn. It also means there is no need for Nylon to be added to this natural fibre, giving it that soft next to the skin feel.
The Yarn has been dyed through the magical process of Eco Printing and hand painting with naturally created dyes. I use only natural dyes in both plant form and extract. As well as Lichens (Ethically sourced) and locally gathered seaweed. I also use traditional natural dyes from insects such as Cochineal & Lac which have been used for hundreds of years.
The technique I use to produce this variegated yarn creates an intricate and complementary palette of colours throughout this skein of yarn, it is truly unique. The colour distribution is quite random, this is due to how the plant elements used impart their colour in the printing part of the dyeing process.
The changing colours and speckles in this yarn lend themselves beautifully not only to hand knitted socks but also other garments/accessories both knitted and crocheted.
