Five skeins yarn fade, fingering weight yarn, 500g Merino Singles, hand-dyed in Berlin, BKD Yarn Fade

€125,00

500g of merino single-ply yarn, hand-dyed by me in Berlin, Germany. Yarn fade is dyed in one pot for seamless overlap, five skeins in total. Perfect for any fading project, Westknits, Joji, Boylandknitswork, and many more.

BASE: Hand-dyed superwash merino, s, a classic staple among the fancy hand dyes! It is durable, soft, fascinatingly takes up color and you can use it in any project, for babies, adults, shawls, hats, well.... anything. You can knit it holding single or h the thread double to achieve the DK weight - perfect for marling! For all kinds of garments and accessories and every weather.

NEEDLES: Knit on 2 – 4 mm knitting needles, or go for bigger ones, for that modern, airy look. All wool can be knitted on all needles. The choice is yours, but take time to check your gauge. This is essential.

COLORS: All colors are dyed by me in layers to give them shade and depth using a special method I developed in my home studio in Berlin. Each skein of hand-dyed yarn is unique, it is hardly possible to replicate the process fully, even when established and repetitive.

STABILITY: I am dyeing with professional colors that I mix to a certain ratio for a particular tone, fade, or nuance in my studio. These colors are proven and stable over a longer period, even after washing. However, be aware that all colored garments, even the industrial ones, fade with time, so some changes are expected, depending on how you care for your garment and how often you wear it.

BLEEDING: I wash my yarn extensively to avoid bleeding but stay aware it may bleed slightly after the first washings until the color is fully exhausted.

CARE: This yarn is specially treated for machine washing. However, all wool wears and tears with every washing and loses its shine and texture. Therefore, I hand wash my knitted garments with a sprinkle of the wool washer. Generally, wool does not require extensive washing as the smell does not hold on to the wool fiber. Therefore it is enough to wash it as little as possible, once a year or less, and to air it after every wearing. Just place it on a balcony, in the garden, or any place with natural airflow and let it air for a while.
