China Blue- 8 ply merino/silk/yak - Masala 8

Masala double knit DK (8 ply0 yarn: 60% sw merino, 20% silk and 20% yak.

 

It’s beautifully soft and smooth - just a pleasure to knit with. 

 

 

It is recommended that you hand wash in cool to luke warm water with a wool wash to prevent dissociating. Slight bleeding may occur but should not effect the final colour. The merino is superwash but the dyes can disassociate in hot water. 

Masala 8 is my new 8 ply yarn - 60% superwash merino and 20% silk, and 20% yak. It has a nice firm ply made up of 4 plies.

 

Hand wash in luke warm water to ensure longevity of the dyes.
