Hand Dyed Merino/Nylon Sock Yarn Galilea Galilea is made for lovers of color - for those who treasure the subtle nuances of coloring that can only be achieved by careful hand dyeing. Each skein is hand painted to the highest standards of the trade using only safe, colorfast dyes. With Galilea it is so easy to achieve that exquisitely textured color play of a handmade masterpiece - you will be delighted to say "I made it myself!" 387 yards per skein One skein = 100g (3.5oz) / 354m (387yd) #1 Fingering/Sock Knitting needle US size 1-4 Crochet hook 2.25-3.5mm Kind to your skin We only use low-impact, non-toxic dyes for our hand dyed yarn. Kind to animals We only use responsibly sourced fiber. Happy sheep make the softest yarn! Do I need to wind this yarn into a ball? Yes! For a tangle-free crafting experience, wind Galilea into a ball using a swift or ball winder. Is there anything I need to know about knitting with hand-dyed yarn? When using multiple skeins of the same colorway, there can be differences between dye lots that may become obvious blocks of color. You may want to work with two skeins at a time, alternating every couple of rows to blend the colors together. Can I wash Galilea yarn in the washing machine? Yes! Galilea is made with Superwash Merino which is designed to be washed without the danger of felting. Use cold water on the gentle cycle just to be safe and air dry flat. Fun Colors To Mix & Match Space Dyed and Speckled Create tons of visual interest without any extra effort! Multi-tone colorways shift colors as you knit and add pops of color for a truly artisan look. Kettle Dyed Solid Tones Rich solid colors make great accents paired with the multi-tone colorways! Or use them on their own for sophisticated, subtly variegated color work.

It is endlessly adaptable so you can easily make it your own and use it again and again for shawls of all sizes and color combinations. Printed on 7 pages of heavy card stock featuring a scratch code for download (patterns w. scratched code are excluded from return). Skill Level Intermediate beginner.
COLOR CHOICE MADE EASY We know how hard it is to match yarn colors online... this kit makes it a breeze. For each kit we hand dyed three perfectly harmonizing colorways that are vibrant, saturated and playful. You can be sure that your shawl willl be a unique, stunning piece of art! By the way, we only use environmentally responsible low impact dyes and vinegar—no water is polluted or wasted to achieve colorfastness. Galilea yarn is not only safe for the planet but also kind to your skin.
SUPER SOFT AND STRONG Galilea skeins are cuddly, squooshy and oh, so soft… For durability we gave Galilea an extra twist; instead of the usual 3-4 plies this yarn has 8 plies. This extra cable twist provides remarkable stitch definition and assures that your project keeps its shape.
SIMPLE CARE Hand wash or machine wash on gentle cycle. Use cold water with mild wool detergent. Do not bleach or use softeners. Dry flat.
