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.
