Peene Dark Aubergine Merino Blend Sock Wool Yarn 100g

'Peene'. An intense solid aubergine-black tone.

Peene is a beautiful hidden riverside village first settled by the Romans, full of countryside charm and historic buildings dating back to the 12th century. I felt its rich history deserved a rich colourway, and this plum-aubergine tone is perfect! Multiple layers of plum, warm brown, and purple-black make up this intense yarn.

Sock Yarn Superwash Base 100g: 75% merino superwash wool, 25% nylon. 100g= 425m (approx).

As colours can differ slightly between batches, we recommend purchasing enough yarn to finish your project from the same batch. If your desired number of skeins are not available on your chosen base, please message us and we will dye the needed quantity.

Care and washing: Gentle hand washing of hand dyed and hand knitted/crocheted items is recommended. Yarns marked superwash can be machine washed at 30 degrees, but I personally prefer hand washing in warm water using a mild detergent before lying flat to dry (no-rinse wool specific products such as eucalan or soak are great for this). Please note that hand-dyed yarns may shed a little colour when first washed. This does not affect the fastness of the colour, and is due to excess loose dye particles.

We do custom requests: Please note that custom requests such as a different base yarn or in larger quantities are easily achieved with no 'custom' surcharge added to the price. I am happy to oblige if I can, just message me and i'll quote you a cost and time scale.
