Details and benefits
Details and benefits
✨ This merino wool comes from farms in South America and Peru that respect animal welfare, and it is superwash and Oeko-Tex certified, making it easy to care for while preserving the fiber's quality. Hand-dyed in our workshop, each skein reveals luminous and nuanced colors, perfect for enhancing your projects.
✨ This base absorbs dye richly, revealing deep and luminous colors. The resulting shades highlight the artisanal work and bring character and subtlety to each creation.
💫 Knitted alone, MERICOTA DK creates a flexible and comfortable fabric with a beautiful drape. When combined with a mohair & silk yarn, it gains volume and warmth for a more airy and enveloping result.

If we have the required number of skeins from the same dye lot, your order will be prepared and shipped as usual. However, online stock may come from different dye lots. In this case, we do not mix lots: we dye a new batch to ensure greater color consistency. Please note that in this specific case, shipping may take up to 2 weeks maximum.
Our skeins are guaranteed to be from the same dye lot for the same color for up to 6 units maximum, depending on the vat capacity and the type of wool. Beyond this quantity, your skeins may come from several dye lots, but they will always be dyed together during the same session to ensure the best possible uniformity.
Each yarn is hand-dyed in my workshop in small batches of 6, which allows for strict control at every stage and offers intense and semi-solid shades. Each dye lot is completely used up, and each skein is carefully checked and reshaped. For projects requiring a large length, it is recommended to alternate the skeins to harmonize the shades. In the case of a pre-order, all skeins are dyed together in the same dye lot.
Remember to plan a sufficient quantity for your project to obtain a uniform result.
The photos of the yarns are taken and edited with care to best reflect the colors, in natural light and on a Retina screen. Despite this precision, slight variations may appear depending on the screens and lighting conditions.
Tips and maintenance
Tips and maintenance
Some highly saturated colors, particularly yellows and reds, may slightly discolor the wash water without affecting the quality of the yarn. A little white vinegar in the soaking water can prevent this. We carefully wash and rinse each skein, but dark or highly saturated shades may bleed slightly.
It is recommended to wash your finished pieces in cold water with a mild or wool-specific soap.
