WildWestDye - Naturally dyed yarn

Merino is ethically sourced from New Zealand where the sheep are allowed to express their normal sheep behaviour and mulesing is not performed.

New Mermaid colourway

Introducing the new Mermaid colourway, featuring all the colours! Called mermaid, because, you know, it reminds me of a mermaids tail with the added bonus that Mermaid is also the name of a pole dance move!

First twist dyed in Indigo to apply the blue sprinkles, the yarn then goes through the mordant process, allowed to rest for 24 hours and then gets all the sprinkles!

Sprinkled with madder, cochineal, lac, logwood, osage, myrobalan I have so much fun dyeing this and I hope you have as much fun knitting with it.

Currently available on the 2ply pure merino fingering base, 3ply pure merino DK base, 50% silk/ 50% merino sport base and Soft singles merino/ cashmere/ silk base.

I've also designed a new hat - a new colour deserves a new kit right? SpinYouRound hat in DK weight, and I just had to knit up a new sample of the SpinYouRound wristwarmers in the fingering too!

Treat yourself to a Mermaid kit

For the love of colour

I love to encourage the use of multiple colours within your knits, which is why WidWestDye sells the pure merino collection in 25g increments (CakeQuarters/ quarter skeins) so you can buy what you need. Less waste, less idle stash. All yarn is shipped in cakes, ready to knit. If you need help choosing your colour combo, please reach out to me using the contact form.
