Dyed-to-order sweater quantities - Brimham Bio Fingering (85% superwash merino/15% nylon) hand dyed to order

Get a sweater quantity of the yarn you want!

This listing is for Brimham Bio Fingering, our merino/biodegradable nylon light fingering weight yarn, dyed to order in the quantity and colourway(s) you request - designed so that you can get sweater quantities (or more). We will dye this to order for you so that you have all one dyelot; we aim to ship the yarn within two to three weeks of your order being placed. If you order pre-order yarn with yarn that is in stock we will ship all items together once the pre-order yarn is ready.

Scroll through the images for examples of the colourways, some images are still to be added. As with all hand dyed yarns, colourways may vary a little between dyelots.

Brimham Bio Fingering is a light fingering weight yarn and is a blend of superwash extrafine merino with biodegradable nylon. Biodegradable nylon is as durable and long-lasting while in standard use but will break down entirely within five years in landfill conditions. (For more information about biodegradable nylon see our blog post HERE). Light fingering weight yarn is slightly thinner than a standard 4ply/fingering weight but thorough group testing found that it is still suitable to use in fingering weight patterns for both knitting and crochet. This yarn has good drape and really clear stitch definition, working well for lace, brioche and cables but some of our testers said they thought it didn't have much 'give'/stretch. This yarn is machine washable on a cool gentle cycle, but we still recommend handwashing if possible for best results and longevity.

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).
