Opal DK is a new offering for warm weather. This blend of fine superwash merino wool, pima cotton, and linen, has a cool but soft hand, making it a lovely choice for summer tank tops, beach cover ups, shawls and sweaters. The pima cotton and linen content of the yarn gives it a subtle heather when dyed with acid dyes, while the wool content keeps this blend light, bright and enjoyable to knit with.

Care of your hand knit garments
Please hand wash cold or lukewarm water and lay flat to dry. Even though this yarn does contain superwash merino, I do always recommend that you hand wash your knitwear. We use colorfast acid dyes for dying our yarn, and rinse until water runs clear. There may be a chance that some dye may bleed slightly in the first wash of your finished item. This does sometimes happen for speckled yarn and stubborn colors that are prone to bleed. For the first couple of washes, hand wash separately to be sure that no further bleeding.
