A robust high twist 100% Merino wool DK, this workhorse yarn creates a dense warm fabric and makes cables pop out for glorious texture. This soft but tough yarn can be machine washed and even tumble dried on a low temperature.
This yarn is hand-dyed in Peru. The merino wool used in Vivacious DK is museling free.
Each skein is unique. To prevent pooling please alternate skeins. Suggestion is to knit from one then the other skein (or "cake") every other row if knitting straight or every other round if circular kntting,
Supplied as a skein which we recommend you wind into a "cake" or ball before you start your project.
