Phoenix 12 is a deep, dark blue-green with the intensity of deep ocean water. Sitting between petrol blue and forest teal, it has a strong blue foundation softened by a rich green undertone. The depth of colour gives it an almost blackened appearance in the shadows, while the yarn’s texture brings out subtle variations of blue and green across the skein. A moody, sophisticated colour with plenty of depth, Phoenix 12 is striking on its own and particularly beautiful when paired with softer blues, rich greens, charcoal or warm neutrals.
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 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!)
