Mineralogy 4 Ply - Tonals Collection - Cornflower Blue

MINERALOGY BY JOHN ARBON TEXTILES (DYED BY LOUIE & LOLA)

Fibre Content: 75% Corriedale / 17% Grey Exmoor Blueface / 8% Romney

Meterage: 400 metres / 437 yards per 100g.

Gauge & Needles: John Arbon Textiles does not give a recommended needle/hook size for their yarns, as everyone’s gauge is subtly different. It is possible to achieve quite a wide range of gauges with this yarn. A tighter gauge (more sts per cm/inch) will create a denser fabric and a looser gauge (fewer sts) will create a drapier fabric.  If you are substituting yarn for a pattern, we recommend comparing the meterage. If your yarn is within 25 metres of the given yarn per 100g then you should be able to happily get the correct gauge.

Characteristics: Mineralogy is a non superwash yarn which has a worsted spun, 2-fold construction and features a subtle halo. It is mostly Corriedale, a gorgeously soft and bouncy fibre, well suited to pretty much anything you might fancy making in it! It was blended with soft and lustrous Grey Exmoor Blueface, and then to enhance the drape a dash of Romney was added. The resulting yarn is buttery soft with a gentle handle and warm, woolly character. The yarn creates a subtle stitch definition. The yarn was the John Arbon Textiles 2025 Mill Open Weekend (MOW) special edition base.

Use: Perfect for garments, shawls and other light weight accessories especially.

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.

Our yarns come twisted in a skein and will need to be wound into a cake before knitting. You can do that yourself or have it done by us using our Cake Your Yarn service.

Hand wash only as this is a non-superwash yarn.

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 in shade and not tumble drying.
