APPLE: HAND DYED SILK MERINO YARN

Apple is a crisp, vibrant green that evokes the freshness of a newly picked apple. This bright, refreshing shade brings the energy of spring orchards to your knitting and crochet projects, with subtle tonal variations that add depth and character to every stitch. 

LUXURIOUSLY SOFT & VERSATILE

Spun from a luxurious blend of merino and silk, this yarn is soft, smooth, and a pleasure to work with, offering clear stitch definition and a subtle, elegant sheen. The merino is ethically sourced from non-mulesed sheep.

HAND DYED TO ORDER

Hand dyed in small batches in Donegal, Ireland.

Please note that, as with all hand dyed yarn, each skein is beautifully unique, and colours may vary slightly even within the same dyelot. Colours may also vary from screen to screen. To keep your knitting consistent, we recommend buying enough for your project at once.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Gently hand-wash in cold water with mild detergent or wool wash. Test swatch when combining light and dark shades, as deeper colours (especially reds and neons) may bleed. Squeeze excess water out before drying flat.
