Hand dyed 85% extrafine merino, 15% nylon aran weight yarn, in colourway Copper Bucket - rich, saturated copper, named after my old coal bucket - now gone but not forgotten!

Brimham Aran is the latest addition to the popular merino/nylon blend range. It is as soft as you would expect from extrafine merino with the added strength of nylon for durability. It is a good all-rounder and ideal for garments, accessories, and thick cosy socks alike.

We recommend that you wash dark colours separately or wash a swatch before using dark and light colours together.

As with all hand dyed yarns, I would recommend that you use two skeins at a time, alternating from each one every couple of rows/rounds (unless it's a one-skein project).
