Harakeke

Corriedale Romney North Island sheep  dyed in the fleece and processed through the mill to a worsted weight (Aran) yarn  lively stitch definition.  Named after New Zealand flax  (harakeke).  

Weight / ply :  Heavy Worsted weight to chunky

Fibre :    

Meterage:  160m (175 yd)  / 100g

Recommended needles: 4.5 to 6mm (7-10 US)

Approximate gauge:

Due to the nature of my small batch mill, yarn is not like fully commercial yarn and often looks more like a handspun with variations in thickness throughout the yarn.  Each batch is measured on a McMorrin scale to give an approximate length per 100g.  Please enjoy the non-commercial qualities of the yarn.   

Care Instructions:  All of my yarn is non-superwash.  Gentle wash with appropriate product such as Powerscour® Fibre wash.  Do not wring.  Towel dry and then lay flat until completely dry (in the shade).  With pure wool only occasional washing is recommended.
