DOWN BY THE OCEAN'S EDGE: HAND DYED SILK MERINO YARN

Down By The Ocean’s Edge is a hand dyed silk and merino yarn in soft blues and crisp whites, inspired by the gentle shimmer of waves along the Irish coast. Its luxurious drape and subtle sheen make every stitch a joy to work, adding elegance and light to your knitting or crochet. Perfect for shawls, scarves, lightweight sweaters, or delicate accessories, this beautiful colourway brings a calm, coastal-inspired touch to your projects.

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.
