NSW Merino DK 100g Bette Midler

Bette Midler sang hits like “The Rose”, “Wind Beneath My Wings” and “From A Distance”. We hope this colourway will give you wings and inspire some gorgeous projects all on its own. You could also knit it up with one of our solid colours. It has hints of Terracotta, Olive and Dusty Rose. Or spice it up with something that really stands out, like a bit of Hot Pink.
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.

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.
