COMPOSITION & CARE
Composed of merino wool, silk, and yak, with local breed sheepswool.
Hand-wash in lukewarm water with wool detergent. Alternatively, gently machine wash on a cold wool cycle with a small amount of wool detergent. To dry, lay flat on a large towel and roll up like a Swiss roll, squeezing gently, then complete drying naturally on a clothes airer or washing line. DO NOT TUMBLE DRY.
YARN STORY
The merino/silk/yak blend warp and also the yarn for the mustard stripe have been hand-dyed by some of my favourite UK-based indie dyers. The turquoise blue weft has been woven with chunky local breed sheepswool from the small family run Dundaga woollen mill in the Latvian countryside.
