Merino Twist - Buttercream

Hand dyed with weld and sappanwood.

Weld is an ancient dye plant. It is thought to have been used to dye the robes of the Vestal Virgins in Roman times. 

Sappanwood is derived from Caesilpina sappan (Sappanwood otherwise known as Indian Redwood or Brazilwood) and is an authentic dye from the medieval period.

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