Hand dyed superwash merino with linen fingering weight yarn in colourway Black Magic Rose - a dark velvety mauve/aubergine.

Keld Fingering is a beautiful blend of superwash merino with linen. The linen stands out on medium-dark colours as it doesn't take the dye the same as the wool, so on a lot of colourways it has a marled effect. This gives it a beautiful rustic appearance but it's got all the softness that you'd expect from the merino. It's ever so gorgeous and is ideal for summer accessories and garments, working well at a loose gauge as well as a standard 4ply gauge. If you fancy something a bit different, this is your yarn!

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).
