stormcloud - yak silk singles - 4ply fingering hand dyed yarn - 120g

Colourway: Stormcloud - variegated yarn with shades of silver and grey, with dark speckles

Composition: Luxuriously soft with a natural sheen, 65% merino wool, 20% silk, 15% yak. Yak is warmer than wool and as soft as cashmere.

Weight: 4 ply/fingering/sock

Twist type: single - this means one thread was used during spinning, making the yarn extra soft

Quantity: 120g/4.20oz skein - approximately 480m/525 yards. Two skeins should make a generously sized shawl.

For needles sizes check your pattern, but we recommend 2.5-4mm. Our yarns are superwash, but to avoid felting or shrinking, we suggest that you hand wash your yarn with mild detergent in room temperature water.

All our yarn is hand dyed, so there may be some variation between skeins. If you buy more than one skein, they will be from the same dye lot. We endeavour to photograph our yarn to best represent their colours, but colours may be displayed differently from monitor to monitor and please allow for some lighting variation when receiving your yarn.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us! If you see a yarn you love, but want a larger quantity, let us know and we can discuss the possibility of a custom dye lot.
