Beaker Button mini skeins are hand dyed by us in our studio at the Fairground Craft Centre at Weyhill. Each 85m (20g) skein is enough to make a Beaker Button necklace, knit a mini pair of socks, crochet a beautiful edge round a shawl or add a square or two to your sock wool blanket.They are 75% merino/20% nylon/5% Stellena sock yarn sock yarn, kettle dyed or hand painted using Procion dyes. Each skein will be slightly different, adding a special uniqueness to your projects. Merino/nylon sock is a lovely soft and smooth wool and the nylon in our skeins gives them good strength and wearability. As with most hand dyeing we advise washing separately the first couple of times, then they should be ok at 30 in the machine.Our limited edition skeins are made in small batches and are ready to dispatch.
