“The Coral Reef”

“An alternative universe underneath the ocean where the intensity of coral reef colours jump out against the darker blue depths. The sunlight above on the day intensified the coral colours to an amazing level of exciting enhancement. A silent world gliding by.”

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 seeing the coral reef in full glory.

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.
