Butterfly is a warm rainbow style colourway. In a combination of pinks, blues and violet shades on this soft and squishy 8 Ply or DK non superwash yarn knits and feel lush! 

Hanks will vary from one to the other so I recommend to alternate them while knitting

Sustainable and untreated, a yarn that is as close to its natural origins as possible. No superwash treatment, just a wash to remove the grease and dirt from the fleece then combed for spinning. A great choice for those looking for a luxurious, non superwash, no nylon yarn.
