This one is a dark navy, with some tonal variegation. It leans more towards indigo than teal, but is a fairly straight through the middle navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(The two blues listed are similar enough that they would just look like mismatched dyelots if you use them together - there's not enough defined contrast for even subtle stripes, so don't even think about it!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDue to the number of processes, all the skeins in this batch are different! We strongly recommend alternating for a more even result.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUrchin is smooth and plump – a softly spun three ply construction. The lurex is spun in as an extra ply, (different from the stellina yarns available). It’s great for garments and accessories. While it has nylon content, I'm not yet sure about its durability for socks. As soon as I have more information, I'll update here!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have a much worn item in this yarn, I recently depilled it successfully. I used a Gleener - which you can find online, and it looks like new, and did no damage to the lurex. :)\u003cbr\u003e(It wasn't very pilly, but it's soft wool, so there will be a few occasionally!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFibre content: 75% superwash merino \/ 20% nylon \/ 5% lurex\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 100g\u003cbr\u003eYardage: 400 metres \/ 438 yards\u003cbr\u003eRecommended knitting needle size: 2.25 – 4.00 mm for garments and accessories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWash carefully by hand in cool water with a few drops of clear unscented dish washing liquid (if needed).
