Its a yarn that looks and feels like a teddy bear, and knits like one too. We really enjoy dyeing this yarn, it takes the dye really well, speckles wont show up on this as they spread and get lost in the texture, colours appear more muted

suitable for accessories and garments

The wool in this yarn is Okeo-Tex

you can get really rich intense colours on it

often dyers are put off by the dark base of this yarn

The yarn sucks up the dye and makes the colours appear rich and intense

It would be great for lightweight garments

it also speckles well

13% Peruvian Pima Cotton

and the yarn sucks up the dye

We added nylon into this base so that it was suitable for socks and it’s a winner

and colours appear slightly muted and sophisticated on this base

but the singles construction may not be strong enough
