This set is a mini skein set that reflects the Renewal Collection’s theme of transformation and sustainability. The colour-way was created by using up left over dye water so as to minimise waste and limit impact on the environment.

Yarn Features & Benefits

• Fibre composition: 75% superwash merino wool, 20% nylon, 5% Stellina Sparkle

• Hand‑dyed in small batches for nuanced shading and tonal depth

Care & Washing Instructions

To preserve the depth and beauty of your hand‑dyed yarn:

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

• Superwash merino offers ease, but gentle handling extends longevity

• Press out water without wringing

• Lay flat to dry, shaping while damp

• Avoid direct heat to maintain softness and colour integrity
