2 skeins of 50 g Handdyed dyed yarn; one in yellow and one in blue.
Extra fine merino wool is used for this yarn so that it feels soft and gentle on the skin. The yarn is spun with extra long fibers to produce a yarn that is thin and strong with a silky feel and shine. It is incredibly soft and elastic, and a little nylon has been added to give extra strength and dimensional stability to the yarn.
We use acid dyes, which is gentle on the environment and gives clear, very durable colors.
The proceeds from the sale of this yarn will be donated in full to the Red Cross. Read more about the Red Cross' work here .

We make a reservation that there may be color deviations on the yarn in relation to the pictures, as this depends on several conditions such as screen type, lighting conditions, etc. There may also be variations from batch to batch. It is therefore recommended to buy enough yarn for your project in one and the same order.
The extrafine merino wool makes this yarn luxuriously soft and bouncy for next to skin comfort. A little nylon is added for extra durabilty.
This yarn is very versatile and can be used for any next to skin project (scarves, jumpers etc) as well as items where a little more durability is required such as socks and gloves. The yarn is very well suited for children's and baby clothes.
The yarn is dyed with acid dyes, which are gentle for the environment and provide vibrant and very durable colors.

Hand-dyed yarn, as the name suggests, is a craft, and there will be differences between skeins. This means that it is not necessarily just a matter of unraveling the yarn and starting to knit. Now, we're not going to make it more complicated than it needs to be, but there are a few things that might be good to know before you get started.
We recommend that you knit every other round from different skeins to camouflage any color differences. The more colorvariety in the yarn, the more important is this. Kimmie Munkholm shows this nicely when knitting circular in this video, and when you knit back and forth in this video.
If you don't want to knit every other round from different skeins (this is done at your own risk 😉), it is recommended to do this a few rounds when changing yarn. This applies regardless of the color of the yarn.
We want you to get the best possible result on the knitwear you spend a lot of time and resources on. 🥰
Please note that the yarn may contain excess colour. Therefore, wash separately the first time.
All knitted garments should be stored flat.
