Description
Green Fairy is a kettle dyed bright peridot green. Buoy DK is a small batch yarn that started with a custom fiber blend that we fell in love with. Buoy is a blend of three British breeds, including the rare breed Manx Loaghtan. We use a blend of 37.5% Blue Faced Leicester wool, 37.5% Shetland wool & 25% Manx Loaghtan wool to bring together the best attributes of each breed into a beautifully lofty yarn that is perfect for sweaters, hats & mittens - anything that needs a little bit of strength, but still lofty & wearable. Buoy DK is a 3 ply, worsted spun DK weight yarn. 250 yds per 100 g/3.5 oz skein. Gauge: 5-5.5 stitches/inch Needle: US 5-6, 3.75 - 4 mm Hook: US 7-I , 4.5 - 5.5 mm Blue Face Leicester is a British breed that is well known for being the finest of the medium wools, offering softness & luster. Shetland wool brings loft & air into the blend & the characteristics we expect from a classic wool. Manx Loaghtan is a rare breed that combines tight crimp with a longer staple length & brings a bounce to the yarn.
