Natural Dyed with Privet & Copper – Organic Cormo/Grey Corriedale Wool – 100 grams – 4 Ply – Green ND330

This is a soft Organic Cormo/Grey Corriedale Wool yarn hand natural/eco dyed using Privet Leaves and a touch of Copper water. The original fibre to create this yarn is a white Cormo blended with Grey Corriedale so the final result is greyer than with the normal white yarns I use for dyeing.

The colour of this skein is green and beautiful to work with in your knitting, crochet, or weaving.

My natural dyed yarns are created using plants from my garden where possible.

I work with local and small mills to bring you the very best of each year’s fleece/fibre and the dye stuff is directly from my garden, or local sources. Please note this is not handspun yarn.

Washing yarns before use is not required but a lot of natural dyes (especially madder) will leach colour on their first 2 or 3 washes. If you do wish to wash this yarn before use or, for future washing of any garment, please hand wash using a mild (preferably non-bio) soap with warm water. Please do not put yarn from hot water into cold water or vice versa as this will “shock” the yarn and cause it to shrink and harden ie. try to ensure that both wash and rinse water are similar temperatures and do not rub or agitate the yarn too much as wool felts easily! If you are using soap on your wool, make sure to use PH Neutral soap as acidic soaps can leach colours and ultimately bleach wool. This is not a result of poor dyeing, but instead a result of the acid destroying the fibre (which will cause wear over time).
