Merino wool sock/fingering weight yarn hand dyed in a one-of-a-kind variant (trial 11) of the Yarntuary colorway “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas”, named after the song by Perry Como & the Fontane Sisters.
This colorway was inspired by those seasonal Christmas tree cakes we are all so used to seeing around the holidays! Each features the colors of the red stripes and green sprinkles on white icing, as well as the cake and cream inside!
The main differences that make this variant different from the final colorway are that green is warmer in tone, the cake and red colors are darker and a really pretty pinkish purple bleed from some of the red areas as a result of the red and green combining, which I think makes it look special and unique.
The yarn is a yummy, fingering weight, 2-ply sock yarn (weight 1), composed of 80% superwash merino wool and 20% recycled nylon. It contains 400 yd and weighs 100 g.
It works up really beautifully and can be used for a wide range of projects, such as socks, sweaters, scarves and more!
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.
I do accept returns and exchanges. Your happiness as a customer of the shop is very important to me!
