A variegated colourway inspired by stage lights, dyed using fluorescent\/UV reactive greens, merging into dusky sky grey-blue and then black. The listing images show the yarn in daylight and also under U.V. light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few months ago I saw one of my favourite bands play in Nijmegen, and halfway through the show this thought popped into my head... \"wouldn't that make an amazing yarn colourway?\". So I used my phone to take as many photos of the changing stage lights as I could, and have spent the last few months playing with fluorescent\/UV reactive dyes, to come up with unique colourways based on the light show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are 6 'Rammskein' colourways, which I named after the 6 members of the band. This colourway 'Paul' is named for Guitarist Paul Landers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStitch markers, or 'Rammstitch markers' (if you'll excuse my bad puns) are also available in this webshop inspired by some of their songs. See images 7-10 for the full 6 'Rammskein' colourways and knit\/crochet samples (using 3mm tools).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho are Rammstein? Known as much for their spectacularly theatrical pyrotechnic and light shows, as much as their heavy riffs and German language lyrics, Rammstein are Germany's most successful musical export, having sold over 100 million albums worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand dyed on our super soft merino sock base using genuinely U.V. Reactive\/fluorescent dye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSock Yarn Base\u003c\/strong\u003e : 75% merino wool, 25% nylon. 100g= 425m (approx).

So if you wanted to knit a jumper for the Rammstein fan in your life, please contact me for a custom order. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eP.S.:\u003c\/strong\u003e These yarns are my interpretation of the amazing light show at the last Rammstein gig I attended. They are in no way 'approved' or used by the band, but if the gentlemen wanted some socks, I would happily send them the yarns for them to knit them!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCare and washing\u003c\/span\u003e: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folkestone Harbour Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57429715091831,"sku":"FH2040","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/5204\/3042\/files\/bec94403-il_fullxfull.6297699510_9ua1.jpg?v=1788284798","url":"https:\/\/folkestoneharbouryarn.com\/products\/rammskeins-paul-100g-variegated-green-grey-black-sock-yarn-fluorescent-uv-reactive","provider":"Folkestone Harbour Yarn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
