Juniper | Hand Dyed 100% Merino Yarn from New Zealand | 100g

100% merino yarn grown and processed in New Zealand's South Island. Lovingly hand dyed in small batches, which creates the rich complexity of this colourway. After dyeing, thorough washing and rinsing result in this bundle of deliciously soft and squishy woolly goodness.

We work hard to represent the colour accurately in our images, however, please take into account that screens vary in how they represent colour.

This colourway can be dyed on either 4 ply or Double knit weight yarn bases. We dye on either standard 100% merino or on our exclusive, luxurious super-soft 100% yarn. Our super-soft yarn is grown in the South Island high country, of a quality that is usually exported.

A cool handwash is recommended as our yarn is natural and untreated.
