Superwash so this yarn is machine washable and dryable. Will not felt under normal washing and wearing. That makes this Fingering weight yarn perfect for socks and baby items. Approximately 420 yds, 100g. This yarn almost glows! This is not "red" red. It's true Fuchsia Red. (Has a touch of pink.) This was dyed with the same dye stock as the 'Crushed Candy' yarn, but much deeper and intense. Deep and Intense are perfect words to describe this colorway! This yarn is also the closest to solid I've been able to reach so far. Even with other yarns that may appear at first to solid, once work up, you can see the variations. There will still be variations with this because it's hand dyed - not commercially dyed. But the differences are way more subtle than in any other semi-solid I've dyed to date. Let me know if you are interested in larger amounts of this colorway. This one is reproducible, but each dye batch has the possibility of varying slightly. Order all you will need for your project at one time and then alternate skeins every 2 or 4 rows if possible. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=190521 Fri, 17 Apr 2009 06:45:53 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=189985 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=189985"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/8688_product_1642527013_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> 100% Merino Wool.
