Tush...Blue Bird... Our new 70/20/10 MCN base, soft as a babies bottom. This heavy fingering weight sock yarn is so soft and squooshy, spongy, springy, and super soft, did I mention soft. A wonderful base. Subtle Ikat dye technique. Greys, blues, periwinkles, violets, very hard to pick up all of the tones in this skein. First we did Blue Jay now we have Blue Bird. Still questing that heathered effect in the bird feather. 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.

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.
