Fiber Blend

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!

“The Caribbean Is Calling” This hand-dyed yarn captures the essence of a tropical paradise, showcasing vibrant hues that evoke the breathtaking scenery of sun-soaked beaches. Rich turquoise tones flow throughout, mirroring the crystalline waters that shimmer under the sun, while bright, lively greens intermingle, reminiscent of lush palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. This harmonious blend creates an enchanting visual that transports you to a serene coastal escape. Each strand tells a story of sunlit days and tranquil shores, inviting you to weave your own adventures.

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.

This color is offered in the following fiber blend:

80/20 Super Wash Merino and Nylon Fingering Weight Sock Yarn. I feel this is the perfect blend for soft socks yet durable with the added stability of nylon. The price is for one Hank/Skein of yarn weighing approximately 100 g with approximately 435 yards in length.

Sturdy Sock - 75/25 Super Wash Merino and Nylon Fingering Weight Sock Yarn. Choose this blend for a soft feel with the added longevity of 25% nylon, for those who are hard on socks! The price is for one Hank/Skein of yarn weighing approximately 100 g with approximately 435 yards in length.

80/20 Plush Sock/Fingering Weight Super Wash Merino and Nylon 6 ply Cabled Yarn. This yarn brings the squishy softness of 80/20 with the added durability of a cabled yarn. With 4 plies of superfine merino wool and 2 plies of nylon, your get next to skin softness and longer wear from your projects! The price is for one Hank/Skein of yarn weighing approximately 100 g with approximately 380 yards in length.

Silky Sock - 75/25 SW Merino and Mulberry Silk. The shine on this blend will take your breath away. Perfect for those intricate shawls you love to create with the added smoothness of the silk. The lack of elasticity in silk allows it to hang softly with fluidity and beautiful drape! Each skein is 100g and approx. 435 yards in length.

 

 

 

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.

Processing Time

With made to order yarn, the average shipping time is 5 to 7 business days after you place your order. Larger orders may take longer to process and ship, please message us prior to ordering to discuss the processing time for your specific needs.

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.
