Rare and Exotic Beast: Deep Cranberry - Port DK

Regular price $35.00

Tax included.

This OOAK colour is a very saturated magenta colour - washed with layers of charcoal. There's not really cranberry going on - it was some sort of brain fart. Apologies - I'm not going to make it a new label because that will be very confusing for anyone who already has some. (Small business accidents do happen.)

All skeins are from the same batch, but due to the number of processes involved, alternating skeins is recommended for a more even result on larger projects!

(This is a very saturated colourway. I have washed it and the rinse water is clear. If you are planning to knit this with a light colour, I would recommend knitting a small test swatch with all the colours you're using, and wash and block in the usual way. Cold water and a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid is a good bet!)

Port DK is smooth and plump – a high-twist four ply construction. It’s great for garments and accessories, and showcasing cables! Port DK gets extra soft and squashy after it has had a bath. DHY recommends swatching, and alternating skeins when knitting a larger item. (Colour may vary from skein to skein, even in the same batch.)
