BLUESTOCKINGS, Toad Hollow Yarns

Bluestockings was a term for educated, intellectual women in 18th century England. They would hold literary conversations with men of letters and the aristocracy. To be called a bluestocking was considered an insult because it meant that you were un-feminine and not good marriage material. Oh dear!

Our yarns are hand dyed or hand painted using professional acid dyes. We wash each skein carefully after dying but slight bleeding may occur during first wash. Skeins may vary in color slightly so if using more than one skein of yarn in a project, please alternate skeins every few rows.

This soft, squishy yarn is perfect for socks, shawls, sweaters or any project where you would use a Fingering weight.

Care of yarn - superwash merino will allow you to wash your items in the washing machine but please use cold water. For best results and care, hand washing is recommended.
