Worsted Supreme – extra fine merino wool hand dyed yarn 50g – ‘Shunjuku’

£10.00   / 50g skein

Coming soon


Shade: Shinjuku – black, purple and turquoise with splashes of neon, inspired by the iconic neon signs of Kabukichō, Shinjuku, Tokyo.
Due to the complex nature of this shade, each skein has its own personality. If you are planning a larger project and want an even look, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows.

New for autumn 2025! Worsted Supreme is spun with a high twist, giving it a dynamic, springy handle and extra resilience. Cables and textured stitches have a beautifully defined, crisp appearance and it's a joy to see each stitch take shape.

Worsted weight sits in the gap between double knit (DK) and aran, and it's great for garments, accessories and cosy blankets. It's not so common in the UK, but is growing in popularity thanks for many wonderful patterns for worsted weight yarns from indie designers across the pond.

Caring for neons

Neon dyes are not as colour-fast as regular dyes. To keep them looking their brightest and best we recommend hand washing in cold water (even if the yarn itself is machine washable). Dry away from direct sunlight.
