DK Double skeins from Mineville Wool Project

Constellation

Woo hoo! Finally more imports making their way through Customs! The pandemic certainly hasn't been kind on getting goods from our non-US dyers but I'm doing my best. This, from Mineville Wool Project, is a super special batch of DK weight yarn that we can get just once and not again. You'll find it in the Sale Section. There really isn't a comparable yarn to this one. Not only is it 2.25x more than a typical skein (many are weighing in at 5-10% more than that!), the merino used in this skein is fine merino - a higher quality than the already great quality of superwash merino hand dyers use. The great yardage means that you won't have to weave as many skeins throughout your project if you are making a sweater. It also means that if you are knitting a scarf or something that would take just 2 skeins, you don't have to alternate skeins at all. Or if you're making a hat and mittens and a cowl, they are all the same lot because they come from the same big skein.

As far as the quality of the merino goes, you'll definitely feel and see a difference. Well, I mean if you knit with DK weight hand dyed yarn regularly, then you'll notice a difference. If it's your first time then you'll just really appreciate the quality. There's a bit of a sheen to this and there's also a noticeable softness. The great quality of merino that dyers use is already soft on the skin, but this is even more so.

I have just one batch of this from Mineville Wool Project in the Sale Section, and that's it. Half of it is still sitting in Customs limbo, but it looks like it's expected here later this week, so you'll see a dozen or so more colors added to the Sale Section when it arrives. MWP is a branch of Fleece Artist that specializes in short runs from mills at great prices, and this one is just a one off. Usually I can get something two times or for a year, but this is a one and done. And I got it all.

So while most of the hand dyed DK weight yarn we offer retails at $28 for just 100g, for $5 more you're getting more than twice the yardage and an upgrade on the merino quality. Not too shabby, eh?

Please note that if you order this and request winding, we can't. Larger cakes and minis can "fall apart" in shipping, causing you a mess. So we don't wind these, even if requested.

Love, love this yarn and love the MWP colors. Just got 5 hanks for sweater and shawl. Knitted over 10 years of FA yarn, so happy that you are carrying their yarns; also just finished the MWP BLF sock yarn for a cardi. in the Sneaking Santa color way, so satisfying and so stunning. Happy, happy.
