This bright purple is such a cheery color for a kids hat, sweater or mittens.
Cochineal (Dactylopius coccus) Its bugs! The dye is created from crushed insects, native to Mexico and South America. This insect lives on prickly pear plants and can create colors from this vibrant purple to deep reds.
This yarn is 100% hand spun wool. Choose between two yarns weights (DK or worsted). Both of these yarn weights are single ply and come in 200 yard skeins (182y). (Note: the picture depicts a skein of two ply, what you will be getting is single ply)
Lead time is 5 days on dyed to order for under three skeins. For 3-8 skeins, lead time will be 7 days. If you are ordering more than 8 skeins I will contact you with a ship by estimate. All lots will be dyed as one lot so the skeins match perfectly.
If you are unfamiliar with single ply yarn, two commercially available single ply yarns you might have tried are the Malabrigo worsted weight and the Manos de Uruguay Franca.
