Hand dyed superwash merino, nylon and silver lurex 4ply yarn.

This fabulous yarn is a luxurious blend of superwash merino giving softness, nylon for durability and a strand of silver lurex large enough to sparkle without being scratchy. It’s got a bit of squidge to it, as well as drape, so it’s ideal for everything from socks to garments. Our colourways on this yarn tend to be more noticeably semi-solid or a little variegated compared to most of our other bases due to the way it takes dye; we think this is a lovely part of its charm.

We recommend that you wash dark colours separately or wash a swatch before using dark and light colours together.

As with all hand dyed yarns, I would strongly advise that you use two skeins at a time, alternating from each one every couple of rows/rounds (unless it’s a one-skein project). This is particularly important with Nateby 4ply and it takes the dye quite unevenly.
