  • 1 x 50g in the colourway 'Blush' dyed on Louie & Lola Merino Yak Nylon Sock

MERINO YAK NYLON SOCK

70% Superwash Merino, 20% Yak & 10% Nylon. 

Half skein meterage is 200m / weight 50g.  Yarn Set total 400m / weight 100g.

Gauge: 27-32sts to 10cm using 2.5mm - 3mm needles.

Similar to our popular Merino Silk Yak Fingering, but with nylon content for added durability and just slightly less sheen/drape. The yarn has with good twist and a stunning natural grey-brown base colour due to the yak content, which adds a rich depth and nuance to all dyed colourways. 

Care: Although spun using a superwash merino the yak fibres are very short and this yarn would felt if washed in a machine so we recommend treating it as you would a non- superwash yarn.

Working with Hand Dyed Yarns

Hand-dyed in small batches in Tasmania.

The beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn is that every skein is unique and individual. Even within the same dye batch variations between skeins can occur.

We therefore recommend alternating skeins within your projects to ensure an optimal finish and colour blending.

Please also ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the time of purchase, as colours can vary between dye batches.

Care Instructions

Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye, however some residual dye may remain, particularly in dark and saturated colourways. 

It is recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects in cold water.

Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.

We recommend blocking and drying garments flat and not tumble drying.
