Titus Lace in Rose Campion (Dyelot 290623)

Hand dyed 75% superwash merino, 25% silk 2ply laceweight in colourway Rose Campion - inspired by a big clump of these which appear every year in one of my neighbours’ front gardens, this is a silvery base just like the foliage, and then has really bright magenta coloured dapples just like the flowers. It’s striking without being too much.

Titus Lace (formerly known as Theseus Lace) is a beautiful, shimmery, soft and smooth 2ply laceweight. The merino is superwash (although we recommend you handwash anything made in laceweight yarn) and together with the silk content creates great stitch definition and a fabric with great drape. It's a very luxurious yarn, and perfect for those who want the shine but without the hairyness that you get with baby alpaca, as found in Askham Lace.

We recommend that you wash dark colours separately or wash a swatch before using dark and light colours together.

As with all hand dyed yarns, I would recommend that you use two skeins at a time, alternating from each one every couple of rows/rounds (unless it's a one-skein project).
