This is such a lovely yarn base. The blend of cotton and wool creates a velvety, soft yarn with a matt finish. We would recommend acid dyes for this yarn, bearing in mind that the cotton will not take the dye. This means that colours remain soft and muted, and the resulting effect is delightful. Colours and speckles will spread gently. An absolute dream of a summer yarn, this is perfect for lightweight, cool garments. The fabric shows stitch patterns really clearly and this should be exploited.
