A candy hot pink. Dyed on to the fibre of my local sheep breed, the Kent Romney. FHY Towers is located very close to the former site of Rowland's Confectionery, a sweet shop where you could watch sticks of rock being hand rolled. It was a tourist favourite. When I have the windows open in the summer, I can guess how busy it is in town and on the beach based on the number of times I hear the phrase \"was that the rock shop...\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur solid and semi-solid range is inspired by the the seaside town of Folkestone and the landscapes of the surrounding area. See image 3 for more colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKent Romney DK weight Yarn Base 100\u003c\/strong\u003eg: 100% pure Kent Romney. 100g= 230m (approx). A smooth feeling, strong yet soft DK weight yarn with a slight halo. 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\u003eWhy Romney? Kent Romney sheep produce a fine, soft wool that is also strong and durable. The fibres can be as thin as 28-30 micron thickness making it one of the finest British breeds. Our Kent Romney is responsibly sourced by our suppliers in Yorkshire, the heart of the British wool \u0026amp; textile industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and washing:\u003c\/strong\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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWe do custom requests:\u003c\/span\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folkestone Harbour Yarn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57429726921079,"sku":"FH365","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/5204\/3042\/files\/2a61d35f-il_fullxfull.8132591171_s544.jpg?v=1788284828","url":"https:\/\/folkestoneharbouryarn.com\/products\/stick-of-rock-pink-kent-romney-dk-weight-yarn-100g-skein","provider":"Folkestone Harbour Yarn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
