NSW Merino DK 100g Since You’ve Been Gone

NSW Merino DK is our first merino wool that hasn’t been superwash-treated, but otherwise it’s the same Karoo merino as our other bases. It behaves the way untreated wool does: bouncier, better stitch definition, a rustic feel, and more grip. It’s great for colourwork and anything you plan to steek. Use it for any project you’d normally make in our Merino DK — just hand-wash your finished piece, because it felts REALLY easily.

Kelly Clarkson’s powerful voice inspires new beginnings, like your next project! “Get what you want” with these deep greens and flashes of Low Tide.
It goes well with Olive, Champagne, Low Tide and Cacao.
Since our colours are hand dyed in small batches there is variation between batches, and even within a batch. We have a process and ingredients for each colour recipe, but can’t control how the colours “land” each time. If you’re looking for a sweater quantity please let us know and we will dye up a batch specially for you.

Good to Know
This yarn weighs slightly less than our standard Merino DK, but it’s loftier, so appears thicker. Non-superwash wool absorbs dye a little differently from superwash yarns, so expect colours that are slightly muted compared to the rest of our range. For best colour results we recommend working with two different balls/skeins and alternating every round/every second row.

Tips for Felting
Machine wash intentionally to felt projects like slippers, bags, or coasters. We’re big fans of the Sailor Slippers if you’re looking for a place to start. Wash your knitted piece in the washing machine on a standard length, 30°C cycle. We recommend knitting a swatch and measuring it before and after so you can calculate the shrinkage rate for your specific machine and cycle.
