Mica DK....Mermaid. This is a lovely DK weight in Superwash Merino 50%/ Silk 50% blend. This yarn is really nice with a beautiful twist. The silk glimmers and glows and the fact that the merino is superwash makes this a high performance yarn. For a DK it's not as large has our Marrakesh which blooms like crazy but it does fall into the DK category. The Earthly Paradise. Subtle Ikat dye technique. Waterhouse painting "Mermaid." He did several studies for this painting and all of them were different. I focused on the Mermaids Fins and Scales and the waters. This was a challenge but I'm very happy with my results and now when I look at this skein of yarn I can't help but think "Mermaid." It pairs with Circe as well. I have plans for those 2 for a shawl design perhaps.

Care:
Handwash cool water, air dry flat.
Note, this is superwash so it can go in the machine but I still prefer to hand wash for longevity. Color bleeding can be normal for hand dyed yarns. I take special care when setting dyes and I thoroughly rinse the yarns. Blues and reds can be difficult to completely exhaust. A good tip is to add some distilled white vinegar to your final rinse water; it will stop the bleeding. I also recommend using a gentle wool wash such as Soak, Eucalan. I always use luke warm water for my knits and handwash even if it is superwash.

All of my yarns are dyed with professional dyes for light and wash fastness. I strive to take the best pictures possible but please remember that computer screens may vary with color.
