Shade: Valkyrie – variegated, black with a flash of multicolour neon pink, lilac and other pastel tones. Inspired by the Northern Lights. In Norse mythology, the Northern Lights were said to be flashes of light reflected from Valkyrie armour. Dyed for our Nature Lovers Club. Each skein is unique – we recommend alternating skeins if using for a larger project, although we will send the best matches if ordering more than one.
Favourite Sock is super-soft, yet hard-wearing enough to be used for socks. It has beautiful stitch definition and unparalleled 'smooshiness'. It's the perfect signature yarn to showcase our full palette of dye effects.
Not just for socks, it's perfect for any 4 ply/fingering weight wool project, especially baby clothes, gloves and lightweight sweaters, and being a superwash yarn, it's easy to care for too.
Our merino is farmed in Argentina and is guaranteed mulesing-free. Farmers are supported by the mill to raise their sheep under ethical farming practices. It is spun in Peru, where the fleece is first graded by highly-skilled workers to ensure consistent quality.
