MERINO LINCOLN NO NYLON SOCK

80% Merino Wool, 20% Lincoln Wool. 

Meterage is 400m / weight 100g.

Gentle hand wash required as this yarn is not machine wash treated.  

Yarn base produced by Wild Earth Yarns in New Zealand.

At a time when people want to get away from plastics (nylon) and use natural products, our new blend of 20% Lincoln Strongwool with 80% soft Merino will fill the gap for 100% natural sock wool. Worsted spun, with a high twist for extra strength this new yarn has been eagerly awaited!

The Lincoln sheep is one of the oldest known British longwool sheep breeds with a history going back hundreds of years. Lincoln sheep arrived in New Zealand in the 1840s. The wool they produce is long and strong with a beautiful lustre. 

The listed price is for one skein. This yarn is in-stock and ready to ship.

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.
