furze | singles is one of my favourite bases to dye. The combination of mohair and merino spun as a single-ply yarn creates the most glorious smooth yarn with a gorgeous sheen and subtle halo that sucks up dye to create the most vibrant shades imaginable. Theis combination of teal, jade, and forest green with a ~flash~ of orange and soft buttery yellow is just stunning - and there's only one of them! Perfect for a single-skein shawl...
Archive edition OOAK shades are yarn bases and/or shades that might not have caught the imagination the first time around but we think deserve their moment in the sun! Re-worked and updated with pattern inspiration provided. They’re in the last chance saloon, so they include a discount or are sold as a bundle.
We dye our yarn in small batches using a combination of kettle dyeing for semi-solid and tonal shades and low-immersion and hand-painting for variegated shades that will 'pool' or 'flash' depending on gauge. Even within a dye batch, each skein is unique as a result of our dyeing techniques.
Although furze | singles is spun from superwash fibre, we recommend hand washing in cool water to preserve the vibrancy of the dye and, as with all small-batch, hand-dyed yarn that doesn't have dye lots, we also recommend knitting alternate rows from two skeins when working on larger projects to avoid noticeable changes between skeins.
We use professional acid dyes with good light and wash fastness and do our best to exhaust every dye bath and reuse water wherever possible to reduce any further environmental impact. Occasionally a small amount of 'loose' dye may remain in the yarn after rinsing (most likely with deeply saturated shades) and we always recommend hand washing in very cool water and pre-washing your yarn separately if you are intending to mix light and dark shades in a single garment/project.
