Merino Twist - Thistledown

Lac is a natural dye that is extracted from scale insects (Kerria lacca) found in Asia.

Black walnut shells contain tannin and are perfect for dyeing with.

This colourway was modified using an iron bath to "sadden" the colour.

This yarn can be worn next to the skin and is perfect for knitting, crochet or weaving projects.
