Description

If you love knitting or crocheting with super soft and shiny lace weight yarn, this is for you. I absolutely love shawl knitting and this yarn just makes me want to knit nonstop.

Candy Jam is a rich semi-solid red hand dyed yarn, dyed in my Ariadne base (80/20 merino silk blend) which has a whopping 1200 meters of length. That is enough for a big and lush hand knit shawl!

Looking for this yarn base available in another colours? Check out this blush pink skein.

Hand dyeing and repeatability

Designer indie-dyed yarns are created in small batches, so differences are to be expected between them, and often even in the same batch. Because of this, I advise you purchase as many skeins as you think you’ll need for your project and alternate them to avoid pooling and colour mismatches. Find out more in our Fibre Bases and Info page.

This is a repeatable colourway. If you’d like a larger quantity of skeins, please contact me and I’ll be happy to custom dye it just for you.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Keep yarn in a dry room away from direct sunlight. Airtight boxes are recommended. Don’t place anything heavy on top of the skein to avoid squishing it.
  • I recommend adding lavender sachets to the storage container for pest prevention.
  • Hand wash your finished product separately using wool-specific detergents, dry flat. Hand dyed fibres may bleed a little in the first couple of washes.
