75% merino / 15% cashmere / 10% silk

Approximately 496 yards per 115 gram skein

Ultra luxurious, Minette awaits your most special shawls, accessories, and other projects that call for drape, shine, and softness. Especially well-suited for open lace work and patterns that favour a relaxed fabric. 

Hand-dyed with professional wash-fast acid dyes in my cat-friendly home studio. I take great care to set dye colours and then rinse the yarns until no dye bleeds, however there may be some colour in your water at first wash due to differences in water properties. Please be aware that photo colours vary slightly from screen to screen. 

If your yarn creation requires more than one skein of the same yarn, it is very important to alternate skeins every row to blend; the beauty of hand-dyed yarn is that no two skeins are exactly the same, even when dyed in the same batch. 

Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.
