Rust

This is lovely North Island Romney lambswool (first shearing) and has been spun and kettle dyed into different vibrant shades.  Will be lovely for colourwork.  

Romney lambswool

Weight / ply :  Light Worsted DK or 8 ply

Fibre :    Romney lambswool

Meterage:  105m (115yd) / 50g OR 210m (230 yd) 100g

Needles : 3.75 to 4.5 mm (US 5 to 7)

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.  Kettle dyed yarn is fully submerged in a dye bath and produces a "semi solid" or tonal effect.  Once again, the small batch, small mill effect is part of its Little Mill Over the Hill character.  

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.
