BEOWULF Indie-Dyed Yarn on Sparkly Merino Sock

Regular price $28.00

Quantity Available: 0
Beowulf was inspired by the epic poem. It's a dark, dramatic colorway that matches the heroic tale and the fight between good and evil. When I showed it to my older kids and told them the name, they all thought it was too pretty to be Beowulf, but we'll just call that an added bonus. ;-)

I dyed this yarn using my Splashed and Speckled method, which means each skein contains the same colors but in different places, making each one unique. I used my Sparkly Merino Sock base, which is made of 92% superwash merino and 8% sparkly lurex. It's a lovely base for shawls and cowls and hats.

Stunning yarn with sparkle

I just ordered the Baowolf color & since I needed 4 skeins, Carla kindly dyed some for me. I wanted it for a specific project - adding it to some mohair I had. The custom dying came out more purple & didn't work, BUT I couldn't bear to send it back, so I matched it up to new mohair & will be knitting a sweater with it - can't wait to see how it turns out. I love combining yarns like this & Carla's colors are so beautiful - I would buy them all, if I could. This base has a lovely soft hand & that little bit of sparkle is just perfection in my mind. Guess I'm biased, because I'm a huge fan - every yarn I've gotten has been beautiful in every way, on a top quality base.
