Brimham Boucle (lace) in Stonechat (Dyelot 140924)
Hand dyed superwash merino/nylon super-soft laceweight boucle yarn in colourway Stonechat - this light and subtle russet shade is similar to the underside of a Stonechat.
Due to the way this yarn takes dye you might find that the semi-solid colourways have a bit more tonal variation than they do on other yarns. Also each skein is individually dyed so dyelots are as close a match as I can manage.
Note that this yarn comes in big 100g skeins so if you're using it as a substitute for other fluffy yarns which traditionally come in 50g skeins you'll need to take that into account. It has a generous 600m per skein as well so it goes far. Finally, so far I am finding that it's tougher than it looks - I recommend gentle handling as always, but it's more hardwearing than I expected.
Tip: when you cut this yarn a bit of merino will unravel from the end. Treat it like you would sewing thread and rub the end a bit to slightly felt it, which will make it much easier to thread through a needle when you need to weave the ends in.

Handwash gently and lay flat to dry. Do not dry in direct sunlight and do not tumble or spin dry it.
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).
