Wild Fern – One of a Kind
A little piece of woodland magic, Wild Fern is a beautifully layered green colourway, reminiscent of a lush forest floor and the fresh growth of ferns after rain. Rich forest greens mingle with softer mossy shades, fresh leafy greens and occasional flashes of bright yellow-green, creating lovely depth and variation throughout the skein.
With its mix of light and shadow, deeper greens and brighter highlights, Wild Fern has a wonderfully organic feel. No two sections are quite alike, making this a truly individual, one-of-a-kind colourway.
A little wild, a little woodland, and entirely its own.
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.
