Conch Shell is a softly weathered honey shade, with gentle peach and pink undertones running through the colour. Dyed in layers, the depth shifts subtly across the skein, giving the yarn a natural, softly variegated appearance rather than a flat block of colour.
Inspired by the warm inner tones of a conch shell, this is an easy-to-wear neutral with just enough colour to keep it interesting. It works beautifully on its own or alongside soft pinks, creams, apricots, rusts and warm browns.
The tonal variation will become particularly lovely when knitted or crocheted, creating gentle changes in colour throughout your project.
Fibre Information
8 ply, DK sock yarn. 100 gms gives you 225 metres
Darjeeling yarn: 80% Merino, 20% Nylon
Beautifully soft and just the right amount of nylon for a pair of DK socks. This also makes a gorgeous shawl or other wearable object.
It is recommended that you hand wash in cool to lukewarm water with a wool wash to prevent dissociating. Slight bleeding may occur especially on saturated colours but should not affect the final colour. The merino is superwash but the dyes not. (However, I'm not hand washing my socks so there!)
