Hand-Dyed Yarn Skein: Mothwing
SOLD OUT
Mothwing is a mixture of pale brown, purplish-gray, and cream, spotted with bright yellow, teal, hot pink, and red-orange.
I've dyed it on a well-twisted 3-ply fingering-weight base of 90% Targhee wool and 10% nylon produced in the United States. Color strikes cleanly and clearly on this base, which makes a soft but very reliable fabric without a lot of halo or drape.
After dyeing, I rinse all yarns in cool water then soak them with Eucalan wool wash.
This is superwash yarn. Nevertheless, I recommend hand-washing in cool water and laying flat to dry out of direct sunlight.
