Solitude on 8 Ply Superwash 100% Merino Yarn

Solitude is a colourway that has different colours within it. It is a lovely variegated blue but it has a gorgeous soft purple tone running through it which is hard to see in the images.

This Superwash 100% Merino wool knitting yarn is a very versatile yarn, and can be used for shawls, wraps, mittens and jumpers. Washable in cold water on a very gentle cycle, it is also suitable for children's and baby clothes. 

This plump buoyant knitting or crochet yarn takes up the dye well to produce deep, vibrant colours. These yarns are worsted spun to produce a yarn that is strong with a silky feel. Very soft and springy, the 4 plies and twist provide extra robustness.

Care for your yarn

When using more than one hank I recommend alternating hanks
