Loading... Please wait...Amara....Black Peony. Super soft 3 ply superwash merino. I love the way this yarn feels, so soft and spongy. Designed for socks but it can be used for so much more. A very versatile superwash merino yarn in a great fingering weight. Subtle Ikat dye technique. Dream Garden Series: Inspired by a beautiful dark moody peony. It turned out similar to our Logwood colorway. Colors: Dark browns, black, purples, blues, wine, touhes of fuschia but subtle. Note: With all the pics the cropped detail shot gives the most accurate representation of the true color. Double click it for the best view.

440 yards is enough to make 1 pair of standard adult socks. Is it just for socks? No, you can use it for lace, mitts, gloves, hats, it's very soft and versatile. The 3 ply makes this yarn nice and round for great stitch definition to show off your cables and stitchwork.
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 as this will minimize or 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.
