Product information
£24.00
Description
Shona is a luxuriously soft lace-weight yarn, hand-dyed and crafted from a blend of Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) wool and silk. Perfect for shawls and delicate garments, it’s gentle enough to wear next to the skin and features a beautiful natural sheen. While it is a superwash yarn, we recommend handling it with care when washing to maintain its quality and longevity. Details This is a lace-weight, hand-dyed yarn created using professional acid dyes. If your project requires more than one skein, we recommend alternating skeins to avoid color pooling. Each skein is thoroughly washed and rinsed after dyeing, though a small amount of color bleeding may occur during the first wash. For best results, hand wash gently in cool water using a wool-friendly wash, and lay flat to dry. Please note: This listing is for one hand-dyed skein.
