“Three Fathoms”

“The level in the ocean where the bright sunlit blues start to darken off as the water deepens into a mystery that has most probably captured the human imagination for millennia.”

Specially designed and prepared three hank bundle of Australian Merino wool. 8 ply wool in large 200 gram hanks. There are three big hanks in total, yielding 600 grams of wool. Lovely soft Australian Merino wool. There is a combined length of approximately 1200 metres in this one of a kind bundle. Careful colour selection and placement in this batch with colour bleed permitted to create even more tonal values that I had to capture after considering the deep gutter near the shoreline.

TECHNICAL STUFF:
8 Ply Australian Merino wool – 22 stitches over a 10cm swatch using 4.00mm needles. Yield: 400m per 200g hank; total of 1200m in this batch.

DESIGN STUFF:
Alternate hanks every few rows to even out any colour variations as this is one of a kind hand dyed wool. A lovely wool to knit, crochet or weave which will give a great variety of colour flecks throughout your project due to the placement of colour in the hand dyeing process.

MAKING TIME:
Two full days to dye each lot. Hand washed in rainwater and conditioned dyeing process. Two days to fully dry.
