Merino Twist - Copperwood

Hand dyed with rhubarb root and cochineal.

Rhubarb root dye is found mostly in the more ornamental varieties of rhubarb that grow in India, Tibet and Nepal.

Cochineal comes from a female scale insect, Dactylopius coccus, that lives on prickly pear cactus plants. The insects yield a natural carmine dye.

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