Key Features
- Hand-Dyed Aesthetics: Hand-dyed by women in rural South Africa, the colorways (ranging from solids to multi-colors/variegated) have unique nuances. The linen and viscose fibers take the dye differently, creating a fine, natural fleck.
- Texture & Drape: The addition of linen gives a cooling lightness, while viscose adds a gentle sheen.
Important Crafting Tips
Because the yarn is hand-dyed, colors can vary noticeably from batch to batch or even between skeins in the same dye lot. It is highly recommended to alternate skeins every row or round when working on larger projects to blend any color differences seamlessly.
