"Barely There Brown" is a color way with a blend of elegance and rustic charm. It showcases the natural softness and warmth, due to undyed yarn in select areas to highlight its natural creaminess, while gentle brown tones wash over the fibers, evoking the earthy tones of a serene landscape. Each skein carries the artisanal touch of careful craftsmanship, making it perfect for cozy garments or home decor projects that seek to combine sophistication with a touch of nature. The subtle variations in color and texture invite creativity, inspiring knitters and crocheters to create pieces that are both timeless and inviting.
A Heap Of Sheep Yarn uses super soft ethically sourced merino wool yarn blends. By combining high quality fiber and a dynamic hand dyed yarn style, I can help elevate your project vision!

Tips
Tips
Although dyed in small batches with the same process, different fibers and artistic mood create a unique finished yarn. Please look carefully at the pictures to be sure you choose the fiber and variation that best suits your project. There is no dye lot for a hand dyed yarn as each skein is unique as it is created! Each skein is truly one of a kind!
It is recommended that you alternate skeins during your knitting or crochet project, to blend out variances that occur within the yarns.
Due to the variances in the fiber blends, twist or plies of the yarn bases, colors may shift or appear to have different tones.

Care
Care
Super Wash Merino wool is known to be machine wash/dry friendly, but I still recommend hand washing and laying flat to dry to extend the life of the yarn and your project! I carefully rinse and wash the yarn after the dye process, but it is still possible a small amount of color may bleed out in the first wash.
