Chinook
16,50 € – 28,50 €
Vintage and speckled
From the tweed family, this medium-thickness, 2-ply yarn is unique on the market because it is made of 100% natural fibers. Its small random speckles are exclusively made with natural-colored wools (the original colors of the fleeces). The main unbleached fiber is transformed into yarn, and the wool buttons with other natural colors are added when the yarn is carded. The 95% of superfine Merino wool treated with Super Wash brings softness and elasticity, and the 5% of Mohair fiber gives a shiny appearance and puffiness. Dare the big English ribbed cardigan, the cardigan with collar and elbow patches, the poncho, the winter accessories or the turtleneck, ball or shawl sweater, with or without cables! It is a versatile yarn, suitable for all types of projects.

What is a Worsted / Aran yarn?
Worsted yarn is twice as thick as a DK and therefore four times as thick as a Fingering yarn. This medium-thick, all-purpose yarn can be knitted with 4.5mm to 5.5mm needles or 5.5mm to 6.5mm hooks. It can be used for mid-season clothing and accessories as well as for cushions and other decorative items. Ideal for projects where you need a medium-thick yarn, in a style that remains delicate. It is useful for large winter items: outerwear, thick cardigans and sweaters, not to mention warm mittens and hats. It can be used alone or doubled up for a larger project. A skein contains approximately 180 to 200m per 100g.
Aran wool is not a different category but another name for Worsted yarn. It is perfect for "Aran" sweaters, those Irish sweaters dotted with cables.
Maintenance tips
To care for naturally dyed fibers:
– Wash and rinse your item carefully by hand, separately, in water at 30°C maximum.
– Use an organic vegetable soap or a mild natural detergent, neutral pH. A few drops of organic baby shampoo without soap will also take care of the wool and the color.
The use of soap or detergent with a pH that is too high, vinegar, baking soda, etc. is to be avoided, as this would permanently affect the color.
– Do not wring. Dry flat (to avoid deforming your work) away from direct sunlight.
Informations
Bat
We dye small quantities of yarn at a time. All skeins sold under the same reference come from the same batch. As this is an artisanal work, there may however be slight variations in shades between these skeins.
Each batch is unique, it is impossible to obtain exactly the same shade from one batch to another. Remember to alternate the skeins in your projects and make sure to order enough yarn for your project.
Don't worry
Despite numerous rinses and careful washing in the workshop, some colors (especially the most intense ones) may still slightly stain your hands when making your work or color the water when you care for it. This is simply excess dye, the final result will not be affected. There may also sometimes be a little plant powder stuck to the fibers that will come off on its own.
Colors, photographs and screens
Particular care is taken in the production of photographs to be as close as possible to real colors. But natural colors have rich and subtle tones that computer screens (computers, tablets, smartphones) cannot reproduce. The perception of colors can therefore vary depending on the screen, sometimes creating a slight discrepancy with the real color of the object.
