The colour "Raven" is a deep and rich inky shade of near black, often described as a very dark and lustrous black colour. It is named after the raven bird, which is known for its glossy black feathers. Raven is characterised by its intense darkness, and it is often associated with elegance, mystery, and sophistication. These skeins have a very slight tonal effect with a rather than being a flat black.
On the spectrum black shows the absence of light, and Raven black nears the end of this darkness. It is a colour that can convey a sense of seriousness, formality, and power. Raven is often used in fashion, design, and art to create a dramatic and bold contrast with other colours. It can be both classic and modern, making it a versatile choice in various creative contexts.

Weight & Length
4 ply, sock or fingering yarn. 100 gms gives you 400 metres
Fibre
Darjeeling yarn: 80% Merino, 20.% 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 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!)
