Helena Gum moth #2 - Darjeeling sock yarn - 4 ply

Originally dyed as part of the 2025 yarn club  and now available individually -

Helena Gum Moth #2 is a soft, glowing blend of pale mustard, mellow orange, and rich custard tones—like the delicate wings of the moth it’s named after. This colourway is both unusual and quietly striking, with a warm, vintage feel that shifts subtly between earthy and creamy. It's a gentle hue with real depth—perfect for projects that call for something distinctive but understated.

Fibre Information

4 ply, sock or fingering yarn. 100 gms gives you 400 metres

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!)
