Gumdrops is a playful, layered colourway built from deep inky navy and charcoal tones, wrapped with sweeps of plum, violet, and berry pink. Pops of jade green and soft mint move through the skein, with occasional flashes of dusky teal and muted lavender. The overall effect is rich and slightly dark, with bright candy-like colours surfacing and sinking back into shadow, giving the yarn depth and movement without feeling loud.

Weight & Length
4 ply, sock or fingering yarn. 100 gms gives you 400 metres recommended needle size is 2.25 - 2.5 for socks, and up to 3.0 for other items.
Fibre
Darjeeling yarn: 85% Merino, 15% Nylon
Beautifully soft and just the right amount of nylon for a pair of socks. This also makes a gorgeous shawl or other wearable object.
It is recommended that you hand wash in cool to luke warm water with a wool wash to prevent dissociating. Slight bleeding may occur on more intense colours but should not effect the final colour. The merino is superwash but the dyes are not. (However, I'm not hand washing my socks so there!)
