LICHEN - Simple Merino Linen

Fig & Posy is hand dyed in small batches. Because of the nature of hand dyes, each skein differs slightly and is unique, even when coming from the same dye lot - this is the beauty of investing in hand dyed yarn.

When working with multiple skein projects please purchase all the skeins you need at one time and consider alternating skeins every other row to help blend colors. 

Every attempt is made to capture colors accurately in the photos but colors can vary from monitor to monitor. Please note that the skein pictured may not be the skein that you receive in your order.

All of my yarn is carefully dyed using professional grade acid dyes and done in small batches to try and ensure color integrity and quality. Each finished skein is given an extensive three step rinse process - until the water runs clear in each step.

Handwash your item in COOL water only, and lay flat to dry. Even though this is superwash yarn, your items life will be prolonged if you take time to hand wash it with care.

Hand dyed yarn MAY bleed minimally in the first few washes. This is not abnormal, and can be caused by using warm or hot water, or using water that is not PH neutral. Hot water can cause the bond between the dye and the fiber to break and release color. To help counter this, always wash in COOL water, and you can use a 'Color Catcher' if they are available in your area.
