The 'Cherry Bakewell' colorway from our merino blend darning yarn range includes a mix of pink and purple tones. The longer colour repeat makes it simple to create more of a gradient style effect when tackling larger mends on fine knitwear
 
A super fine, 2-ply yarn which can be split down to a single ply for mending very fine knitwear or doubled/tripled up if you require a slightly thicker yarn.
 
This luxury yarn is spun and dyed in Italy - it's actually leftover surplus yarn from the textile production process and without being rescued it's likely it would end being wasted and sent to landfill.
 
90 % merino wool and 10% nylon - it has a similar fibre composition to a classic darning wool or mending yarn, which are often a mix of wool and polyester/nylon. The addition of nylon creates a yarn that's a little more hard-wearing than a pure wool yarn, making it ideal for repairing socks, cuffs and armpit areas that take more wear and tear.
 
Each card contains approximately 10 m (33 ft) of yarn.
 
The spacing between each colour change/repeat is inconsistent and varies between 1.2 metres and 2.5 metres (approx). However, one of the colour 'sections' has a very short colour change repeat of 3-4cm which alternates between white and dark pink.
