Worsted Supreme – extra fine merino wool hand dyed yarn 50g – ‘Shunjuku’
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 are beautifully defined with a crisp appearance, making it a joy to watch each stitch take shape. The extra fine merino fibres feel soft and smooth against the skin.
Worsted weight sits in the gap between double knit (DK) and aran, and it's great for garments, accessories and cosy blankets. It's as widely available in the UK, but it's gaining popularity thanks to many wonderful patterns for this gauge from indie designers across the pond.
Worsted Supreme gives our hand-dyed colours a bright, vibrant appearance. Being a superwash yarn, it's easy to care for as well.
This merino is farmed in Argentina and is guaranteed mulesing-free. Farmers are supported by the mill to raise their sheep in accordance with ethical farming practices. It is spun in Peru, where the fleece is first graded by highly-skilled hands to ensure consistent quality.
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.Photo credit: Neon City by slackrhackr (Creative Commons license)
