Hand-Dyed DK Baby Suri Alpaca & Merino

Even in my solid shades, like soft cream, subtle variations add a touch of character to every skein. If you're looking for a more uniform color for your project, I suggest pairing with a mass-produced DK-weight brand of similar yarn. 

Care Instructions: Each skein of my richly colored, hand-dyed yarns is a unique work of art! Due to the nature of the hand-dyeing process, some excess dye may be present. To maintain the vibrancy of your finished pieces, I recommend hand-washing them separately.

Hand wash using a wool detergent ideally below 30 Degrees C (86F), avoid wringing and twisting. Dry flat, do not sun dry, spin or tumble dry.

More information
All my hand-dyed yarns are smaller dye-lots and each hand-dyed yarns I create, are unique. I recreate some of the basic hand-dyed colors, but they are still slightly different from the previous dye-lots - the same way mass produced yarns are. Even within one dye-lot, some skeins might have more of one color than the next - especially the hand-painted colors. The colors you see on the monitor/screen do match real life colors. I am happy to take custom colors orders too.

The DK weight blend has a slightly different fiber combination than my Baby Suri alpaca/Silk Lace weight yarns. This Suri Alpaca/Merino combination has a more rustic look, because it has less shine. Without silk, all yarns has less shine.

The alpaca is sources from alpaca in Peru that are treated humanely.
