WHELK from our Beachcomber Collection, Hand Dyed Superwash Merino Yarn,Toad Hollow Yarns

Helen and I loved going to the beach for the weekends as we grew up. Walking by the water’s edge, picking up shells and - if you were lucky - some sea glass. This collection is inspired by the things we’d find while beachcombing.

Whelks are species sea snails and this color is a variegated mix of greens and blues.

This is a pre-order and will ship in 2-3 weeks.

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.

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.
