For 2020 we are collaborating with some of our amazing friends in the hand-dyeing world to bring you a series of extra-special coloured yarns on a range of our bases. The series is called Dath (dye), and the first is Meirg (corrode), dyed by @oldmaidenaunt

The rusty reds are highlighted perfectly by the blue and grey hues, evoking the striking rusted roofs of old croft sheds. Meirg is over-dyed on our gorgeous silvery Siaban 4-ply base, creating a deep rich tone. Sold in 50g skeins at £18. We have a very limited amount of these!
