Helix DK is a round and springy, soft (non-superwashed!) striping yarn. It is dyed in the wool and spun at Ewetopia Fiber Mill. Each skein is unique and some imperfections are part of the process, it is a bit like that coveted skein of beautiful handspun. The striping is fairly long, so it is best used for sweaters or larger projects, although hats and cowls also knit up fun!
