{cooms - the high ridges in muddy tracks that rise between wheel ruts}

Hand dyed in a range of tonal, variegated and speckled shades. We kettle dye Cooms in small batches using a combination of immersion and hand-painting to give Cooms yarn subtle areas of variegation that will ‘pool’ and ‘flash’ depending on gauge.

Please adjust yardage and skein weight on individual stash entries. This is the same base yarn. Each mini skein bundle contains 5 mini-skeins of this lovely DK weight super wash Merino. Each skein is 20g/45 metres so the bundle is equivalent to 1 x 100g/225m skein. Please adjust yardage and skein weight on individual stash entries. This is the same base yarn.

Cooms is a springy, bouncy yarn constructed from 3 plys of superwash merino. 3ply yarn is lovely and ‘round’ and knits into a fabric with great stitch definition, so is perfect for cables and lace patterns - but even a swathe of plain stocking stitch will have beautiful texture and sharp definition.

What makes this yarn so special is the combination of extra fine merino wool for softness and the high twist for bounce and texture. It dyes beautifully in all our favourite shades and it is gorgeous to knit with. We love this for sweaters, shawls, hats and mitts…
