Kidsilk Paint Box Bundles ~ 25gram skeins x 3 (75gram)

These limited edition bundles include 4 x 25gram mini skeins of Yama KidSilk in assorted colours ~ with colour work knitting and "painting with yarn" in mind. Use it as a single strand, double strands, or held with Yama Merino Linen Singles to create unique colour blends and textures.

Yama KidSilk is a luxurious South African lace weight yarn. Next to skin soft with gorgeous lustre and halo. Hold two strands together for a light yet warm garment or combine with other Yama yarns for a romantic, dreamy fabric.

KidSilk colourways are unique to every collection and will not repeat the same, please make sure to purchase enough yarn to complete your project and remember to alternate skeins when working on larger pieces of fabric. Variegated and speckled skeins take more effort to produce and are charged for a little extra. Each skein is unique therefore the skeins you receive may not be the identical ones from the photograph.

Care Instructions: I recommend hand washing in cool water. Do not agitate the fibres. Soak in a wool wash and rinse in clean water with a drop of essential oil. Roll in a towel to get the water out and dry flat.

Note that darker, more saturated colourways (particularly browns and blues) can give off some residual dye on the hands while knitting, even after the wash and rinse water ran clear. This is called “crocking”, read about it on the “Care Instructions” page under Info in the main menu.
