A glorious RED with depth. Like almost a secret is being hidden red.
This was dyed on a non superwash base, which means the piece knitted/ crochet/woven with this glorious base, needs to be hand washed. The flock of merino's the fleece were gathered from, are from New South Wales.
It is so worth working with this base, it feels SO soft. It is glorious to wear. You could do a whole garment but as a smaller pieces it is sensational. A cowl, wrap, scarf... what ever you make it will reward you.

It is best to hand wash gently in warm water, using a neutral non Eucalyptus wool wash. The merino has been treated so it can be cleaned in a washing machine. Put your item into a delicate wash bag, use the wool wash setting and a gentle wool detergent. Eucalyptus based wool wash has been known to strip colour, so over time, it may effect the colour of the yarn.
Dry in the shade and store your knitted/crochet item flat. If you wish to iron your item, have it on the medium setting.
I spend a lot of time working on the images to be as colour accurate as possible. There may be colour variation due to computer screen resolutions. There are also colour variations due to the nature of hand dyed yarns.
