Description

OOAK #7

This variegated teal colorway is dyed on Iron Dragon’s versatile 4-ply fingering weight Journey base:

● 75% fine superwash merino, 25% nylon
● 462 yards (422 meters)
● 100 gram (3.5 ounce) hank

OOAK (“one-of-a-kind”) skeins use up leftover dye or are experiments that didn’t work out. Waste not, want not! You’ll still receive a full-sized skein of lovely hand-dyed yarn.

Journey is perfect for socks! Finespun wool adds extra softness while the nylon content brings even more strength and resiliency to the yarn to make your handmade socks last. Nylon yarn is not just for socks though! It’s also perfect for scarves, gloves, shawls, ponchos, tops, and even beanies, cardigans, and tank tops.

Items that experience a lot of wear and tear will benefit from this 4-ply yarn. More plies mean longevity: less pilling, less strand breakage, and less thinning. Plus, those plies mean you’ll see excellent stitch definition!

Although superwash yarn can be machine washed and tumble dried on low, for best results wash items by hand and lay flat to dry.

Iron Dragon yarn is hand-dyed and rinsed in a clean, pet-free, and smoke-free environment in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada.
