This finely spun merino wool is hand painted in small batches of color packed skeins. A refreshing aspect of Koigu's palette is that it is fearless, bold and luminous with a spark of life in each dyelot. When knit or crocheted, the colors create a beautiful fabric of speckles and streaks. A KnitCulture favorite! Cold water, delicate cycle or hand wash. Lay flat to dry.
