Blossomfall Dark - - 75/25 Merino/Nylon SW

from £18.00

🌸 🌼 💐 Blossomfall Dark 🌸 🌼 💐

The soft fall of spring in bloom, where a myriad of colours drifts like petals.

Blossomfall is a beautifully hand-dyed 75% superwash merino and 25% nylon 4-ply yarn, created for makers who want socks and accessories that are both luxurious to wear and practical to live in. This classic sock-weight blend combines the natural softness and breathability of merino wool with the added strength and resilience of nylon — perfect for socks, shawls, gloves and fine garments that keep their shape through wear and washing.

Hand-dyed in thoughtful, small batches by Thistle Yarns, each skein carries its own gentle tonal variation, inspired by the colours of Scottish landscapes and seasonal bloom, bringing tactile and visual interest to every stitch.

Yarn Highlights

  • Fibre: 75% superwash merino wool & 25% nylon — soft, strong and wearable

  • Weight: 4-ply / fingering / sock weight

  • Colourway: Blossomfall — soft tones inspired by blooming heathers and spring hedgerows

  • Small-batch hand dyed for unique variation in every skein

Why This Yarn Works

This traditional merino/nylon sock blend gives you:

  • Soft next-to-skin comfort from merino wool — breathable and cosy

  • Durability and structure from nylon reinforcement — ideal for heels, toes and cuffs

  • Plentiful colour depth and subtle shading that enhances textured knitting

Whether you’re knitting your first pair of socks or your tenth shawl, this yarn delivers excellent stitch definition and a smooth handle that’s pleasurable to knit with and pleasant to wear.

Suggested Projects

Blossomfall is ideal for:

  • Everyday socks with lasting wear

  • Delicate shawls & wraps

  • Fine-gauge gloves and mitts

  • Lightweight baby garments and accessories

For multi-skein projects, alternate skeins every few rows to blend small variations in shade evenly through the fabric.

Care Instructions

To keep your hand-dyed yarn and finished pieces looking their best:

  • Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild wool wash

  • Avoid wringing — squeeze out water gently

  • Lay flat to dry away from heat

  • Superwash means it’s more machine-friendly, but gentle handling helps maintain colour and softness (especially with hand dyed fibres).

Packaging & Presentation

  • Choose your packaging: Eco‑Light compostable bags with a QR story link, or upgrade to a gift‑ready Story Box with a printed story card with thoughtful extras designed for a beautiful unboxing

  • Each skein arrives with a thoughtfully written explanation offering insight into the heritage and inspiration woven into the colour-way.

  • Bundles come with carefully curated extras that reflect the spirit and storytelling at the heart of Thistle Yarns.
