Hibiscus Harlequin Bug #1
A deep, moody combination of charcoal, midnight teal and forest green, with flashes of rich blue-green emerging through the darker tones. The colour has a lovely sense of depth, with areas of near-black softened by subtle shifts into petrol blue and deep emerald.
There is a slightly mysterious, almost iridescent quality to this colourway, reminiscent of the dark, jewel-toned markings of a harlequin bug hidden amongst deep green foliage.
A richly shaded colour with plenty of character, perfect for projects where you want dark, atmospheric colour with just a hint of teal and green.
Darjeeling 4 Ply
Darjeeling is a beautifully soft and versatile 4 ply / fingering weight yarn made from 80% superwashed merino and 20% nylon. The merino gives this yarn its lovely softness and comfortable handle, while the nylon adds strength and durability without compromising its feel.
At 400 metres per 100g, Darjeeling is an excellent choice for socks, where the added nylon provides extra resilience for everyday wear. It is equally suited to lightweight sweaters, cardigans, shawls, wraps, scarves and other garments and accessories where softness, drape and durability are important.
The 4 ply construction gives good stitch definition and makes Darjeeling particularly adaptable to lace, textured stitches, cables and colourwork. It takes hand-dyed colour beautifully, allowing both subtle and highly saturated colourways to shine.

Care
Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool wash. Avoid soaking for extended periods, agitation and wringing. Gently squeeze out excess water and dry flat. Although the merino is superwashed, gentle handling will help maintain the appearance and softness of your finished project.
As with all hand-dyed yarns, we recommend alternating skeins when using more than one skein in a project to help blend natural variations between skeins.
