The Superwash Merino makes the finished yarn a breeze to care for, while the dye colours pop extra bright. The Nylon brings an extra level of strength to your finished yarn, for your knitwear to last longer. And the Cashmere is bringing the luxury level up a notch!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTruth be told, this combed top is not an easy spin. It can be slippery, and split-y, and might take some patience to find your groove. But once you hit your stride, and get the settings of your wheel just right, this base will spin like butter, and you'll end up with a super soft, bouncy finished yarn. The juice is worth the squeeze with this stuff!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis base is NOT good for felting, because of the Superwash treatment process it has undergone. But that means it's much less fragile to handle, especially in water. I always recommend hand washing your finished yarn and laying flat to dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e18.5 Microns - Staple Length 2\"-5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colours of dye come out bolder, brighter and more striking on this combed top fibre, again thanks to the superwash treatment. You may notice areas of undyed, white fibre within your braid. The dye strikes almost instantly when working with this combed top, and I do try to get as much coverage as possible. What is interesting, however, is while spinning with Superwash Merino, the white sections tend to blend beautifully into the yarn, balancing out some of the more pigmented runs of colour. The results are always exciting and beautiful to watch come alive at your spinning wheel! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photo shown is a braid of approximately 200 grams. This product is sold in quantities of 100grams. This base tends to drift apart while in the dye pans, and can look a little shaggy in some places, although this doesn't negatively affect the drafting process when working with it. I'll do my very best to send your quantity in one continuous piece, however there is a chance that you'll receive multiple lengths to make up the weight you've ordered. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI try my very best to capture the most accurate photos to best represent the colours, using natural light. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI do not keep any of the dye recipes for this product, each batch is a one of a kind creation. If you like what you see, grab the quantity you need while you can!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hidden Pond Yarns","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67597407519029,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/0328\/3765\/files\/CAB70264-1E50-4D82-BCFD-00E05F6C98DC.jpg?v=1790692706","url":"https:\/\/hiddenpondyarns.com\/products\/80-superwash-merino-wool-10-nylon-10-cashmere-18-5-micron-one-of-a-kind-batch-100-grams-of-spinning-fibre-hand-dyed-combed-top-copy-12","provider":"Hidden Pond Yarns","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
