This bright historic red is such a warming color for a hat or a pair of mittens.
Madder (Rubia tinctorium) has been used since antiquity, including in India, Asia, Europe and North Africa. Cloth that had been dyed with madder has been found in Ancient Egyptian tombs. Interestingly enough, madder is in the same family as coffee!
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).
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.
