Sparkly Merino wool and nylon superwash sock/fingering yarn hand dyed in the Yarntuary colorway “Astronaut in the Ocean”, named after the song by Masked Wolf.
This colorway is vibrant and the orange and blue colors are deep. They were inspired by orange space suits and the blue in NASA’s insignia. These colors combined are sure to create something eye-catching!
In addition, these hanks are sparkly! The silver sparkle running throughout reminds me of stars and is extra fitting for this yarn.
As with all Yarntuary yarn, each hank of yarn is dyed individually by hand.
The yarn is a 3-ply fingering weight, superwash, sock yarn (weight 1), composed of 70% merino wool, 20% nylon and 10% stellina. It contains 400 yd and weighs 100 g.
Due to the nature of the process, each hank is unique. There is not one that is exactly like another.
The yarn has been dyed using professional acid dyes and thoroughly rinsed in order to prevent bleeding, but I would still recommend hand washing on its own for the first wash.
Hand wash garments made with this yarn in room temperature water or machine wash on gentle cycle in cool water with low spin. Air dry.
The bare wool is sourced from suppliers that do not perform mulesing.
I do accept returns and exchanges. Your happiness as a customer of the shop is very important to me!
