Chestnut on 8 Ply Superwash 100% Merino Yarn

Chestnut is a multi layered combination with rich greens, reds and blacks. These colour combine together well and will knit into a lovely fabric.

This Superwash 100% Australian Merino yarn is a very versatile yarn, and can be used for shawls, wraps, mittens and jumpers. Washable in cold water on a very gentle cycle, it is also suitable for children's and baby clothes.

This plump buoyant yarn takes up the dye well to produce deep, vibrant colours. These yarns are worsted spun to produce a yarn that is strong with a silky feel. Very soft and springy, the 4 plies and twist provide extra robustness.
