Melange Sport Weight Artisan Hand Dyed Yarn
Our Hand-dyed Melange base is the best of both worlds with texture and performance! It showcases a captivating blend of 50% cotton and 50% superwash Merino, resulting in a luxurious sport weight that beautifully drapes. The unique combination of fibers creates a soft, inviting texture, very similar to a barber pole, while imparting a natural heathered appearance, as the distinct qualities of cotton and wool intertwine. This makes it perfect for a variety of projects, like Year-round sweaters and cardigans.
- Baby and children's clothes.

- Lightweight summer tops.
This base is both structured and soft, offering both warmth and breathability!
A Heap Of Sheep Yarn uses super soft ethically sourced merino wool yarn. By combining high quality fiber and a dynamic hand dyed yarn style, I can help elevate your project vision!
The skeins are all hand-dyed, by myself, using professional acid dyes and high-quality soft yarns. If you require multiple skeins of yarn, please contact me to arrange that I create them from the same batch.

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.
