Pearly and captivating
Three-strand yarn composed of 70% extra fine merino wool (19 microns) that gives its softness to the thread, and 30% silk of Indian origin that brings a dry softness to the touch and a glossy appearance. The combination of a strong twist with the brightness and reflections of the silk gives it a bewitching pearly appearance.
This well-balanced and pleasant blend is perfect for refined and delicate works with a small, fluffy thickness. Comfortable, resistant and warm, it will be perfect as a half-season or winter thread. Colors and reflections vary throughout the seasons, playing with light. With a beautiful drape, it ensures a unique fall to your shawls, cardigans and other knitted or crocheted pieces, and also adapts to layette. Ideally knitted with N°4 needles, it accommodates all types of projects in simple points such as textured or openwork, or with a little relief such as twists.

What is a DK / Light Worsted yarn?
Twice as thick as a Fingering yarn, DK (Double Knit in English) yarn, also known as Light Worsted, is ideal for scarves, hats and medium-weight sweaters. Neither too fine nor too thick, it allows you to create rather light and comfortable pieces, to wear in all seasons. It is sometimes used to make thick and warm socks to wear indoors or more robust shawls for winter. This weight of yarn is very versatile, which is why it is popular with knitwear fans. This fine-medium yarn, very similar to the Sport weight yarn, is knitted with needles from 3.75mm to 4.5mm or with hooks from 4.5mm to 5.5mm. To reproduce the same effect, you can also knit two Fingering yarns together. An interesting method to mix two colors or mix different fibers. The skeins are about 200 to 250m per 100g.
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.
We recommend using Eucalan detergent available in our shop, haberdashery section.
Informations
Bath
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.
