It's the year of the dragon! This limited edition run is a gorgeous blend of deep forest green, teal, & kelly green along with a lovely soft tan/brown that will work up delightfully. It is a nice foresty colorway that you can use for sweaters, socks, hats, scarves and more! There is a light red coloring to lift the brown and add dimension to your projects, and of course this reflects the true essence of the image and fire of the dragon.
Each package contains one skein of 75% merino and 25% nylon. Superwash sock weight in 4 ply. 400m (437y)/100g. Also includes one mini skein (Dragon's Breath mini) 80m/20g.
Description: The merino gives natural elasticity which is boosted with the nylon so you get great movement and stretch but it will bounce back wonderfully into shape. The merino fibres are not itchy or scratchy on the skin. The yarn is perfect for socks but can equally can be knitted into scarves, shawls, bags, granny squares, tops, or baby garments which will feel soft next to the skin due to the fine merino used. As this is superwash, you can wash your finished product in a washing machine. Recommended not to use water hotter than 30°C.
