Leith Sunshine - Hand Dyed Merino Yarn

from £19.00

💛 ⚽️ 💚 Leith Sunshine - Hand Dyed Merino Yarn 💛 ⚽️💚

Hand-dyed yarn inspired by sunny days in the seaside

Leith Sunshine is a luxury hand dyed merino yarn, inspired by the golden days at the coast and the local football team Hibernian. Dyed in small batches in Scotland, each skein captures subtle colour variation, making every project beautifully unique.

This superwash merino yarn is exceptionally soft, with excellent stitch definition, making it ideal for both textured and smooth knitting patterns. Whether you’re creating cosy jumpers, shawls, hats, or scarves, Winter Solstice offers warmth, comfort, and durability for everyday wear.

Why You’ll Love This Yarn:

  • Hand dyed in small batches in Scotland

  • Soft, breathable 100% merino wool

  • Beautiful tonal colour variation

  • Ideal for garments, accessories, and gifts

  • Ethically produced with care and attention

Care Instructions:

  • Wash gently in cool to lukewarm water using a mild wool wash.

  • Superwash fibres can handle movement better than non‑superwash, but a gentle hand wash still protects the yarn’s longevity.

  • If you prefer, you may use a delicate machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag — cool water only.

  • Avoid hot water or sudden temperature changes to prevent stretching.

  • Squeeze water out carefully; never wring.

  • Lay flat to dry on a towel, shaping the fabric while damp.

  • Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators or strong sunlight.

  • For garments, fold rather than hang to maintain shape.

Packaging:

  • 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.
