ABOUT THIS YARN 100% fine British Bluefaced Leicester superwash wool 100g, 225 meters (246 yards) DK weight 3.5-4.5mm needle recommended 22 stitches over 10cm (4 inches) using 4mm needles Care: hand wash cold Shade: Shinjuku - black, purple & turquoise with splashes of neon, inspired by the iconic neon signs of Kabukichō, the red light district of Shinjuku, Tokyo. Due to the complex nature of the dyeing process for this shade, each skein has its own personality. If you are planning a larger project & want an even look, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows. Plump, round, squishy, firm, springy & endlessly versatile! DK is the classic knitters' yarn gauge, great for most types of projects but especially sweaters, & we've created a colour range with this in mind. Spun from the only finest fleece that the Bluefaced Leicester sheep produces, is it the absolute best of British, & having been farmed, milled, spun & dyed in the UK it has a low transport footprint. Bluefaced Leicester is a native British sheep breed. Its fleece has a subtle lustre, unique to the breed, which adds an exceptional depth of colour to our hand-dyed shades. Its long staple length makes it hard-wearing, & being a superwash yarn, it's easy to care for too. CARING FOR NEONS Neon dyes are not as colour-fast as regular dyes. To keep them looking their brightest & best we recommend hand washing in cold water (even if the yarn itself is machine washable). Dry away from direct sunlight.
