This yarn is so much fun to dye. The singles construction makes speckles pop on the large surface area of the fibres. The yarn sucks up dye and colours appear bright. It’s a super quick knit as well so it’s great for gift knitting and makes SUPERB hats. The resulting fabric looks really nice with a great stitch definition. The nylon in this yarn gives the singles construction extra strength.

The ultimate hat yarn. This yarn is super lovely to dye, it speckles like a dream, and the nature of the construction gives it a gentle shine. Super quick to knit and this yarn looks fabulous in the skein.

I have used 7mm needles for the swatch, but you can go from 5.5mm needles for a tight rib, and 6mm for a little more structure in stocking stitch. It also works for chunky cables and pops with moss stitch.
