Mrs Tiggy-Winkle Hand Dyed Fingering Weight Yarn

Yarn Inspiration:

I can just picture Mrs Tiggy-Winkle washing her linens in a nearby stream. The Mayflies are dancing in the sunbeams just above the water as it rushes over rocks and pebbles. 

She is as pretty as a picture with her soft pink dress and her crisp, white apron. She is meticulous in her work, making sure that her linens are spotless. Once thoroughly scrubbed she spreads them over the sweet meadow grasses to dry.

This beautiful skein of yarn has soft pink tones speckled with stronger pinks and greys. It would make a beautiful shawl teamed with a grey tonal, or a pretty pair of lacy socks on its own.

My yarn bases come from a local supplier that prides itself in sourcing its fibre from reliable suppliers with best practices with regard to animal husbandry and the environment, something that is very important to me. I use acid dyes unless otherwise stated.

Disclaimer: I wash all my yarn with wool wash which may aggravate skins that are sensitive to such products. Darker colours may run, bleed or transfer and although I take every precaution to ensure colour fastness I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by colour transfer or bleeding in a wash. Please ensure to follow the recommended washing instructions below.

Washing Instructions: Cool Hand Wash recommended. Wash separately

*While I have tried to accurately represent the colours on the skeins, all skeins are unique and the colours may vary slightly according to your monitor.
