This is a super-soft, fluffy yarn. It’s fabulous! It takes the dye really well, and strong colours can be achieved. Sometimes, when fluffy yarns are dyed, they can appear felted. Although this does not affect the resulting knitted fabric, it is easy to rectify: we just quickly go over the skein and pull or pluck the strands apart which re-fluffs the yarn. A wonderful yarn to wear against the skin — great for hats, accessories and super-soft sweaters — it’s a firm favourite.
