DK Sock Yarn in Creme Brulee - Hand-dyed assigned pooling merino
- Description
- Details
This luxe DK yarn looks as good as it sounds. It is two-thirds rich custard color mixed with one-third caramelized sugar. The custard is lightly speckled with the burnt sugar hue. This design makes assigned pooling projects easy or will knit or crochet up with little hits of color throughout. Super fun and super pretty. It pairs nicely with several of our other colorways, too.
The extra-fine merino wool (19.5 microns) is especially cushy and feels great on sensitive skin. It's blended with a bit of nylon for extra durability -- perfect for long-wearing projects like fingerless gloves, scarves, and socks (yay -- DK sock yarn!).
Created by us in our home state of Washington using professional commercial dyes that won't fade or bleed, because we steam-set them and then wash and rinse each one thoroughly.

Customer Reviews
This yarn came quicker than expected. I was quoted longer than it took to arrive. When received, it was even cooler than the photos online. It has a slight sheen and feels good to knit with. I will definitely order from global backyard again.
The yarn is nice quality but once I made my little dress for a baby, it looks like a car drove over it. I thought the black was going to be green. I will have to redo this project.
This is my first time to use Global Backyard’s bulky yarn and I love it. The 100% Superwash Merino Wool is so soft and has a beautiful natural sheen. At first I thought the yarn would be slippery, like silk yarns; but to my delight it was not slippery and just so easy to work with. I will definitely continue to support Global Backyard. P.S. I have also used their sock yarn base and that is also a dream to use. You will not be disappointed. I look forward to my future yarn selections and projects with both yarn bases. Thank you Global Backyard!
