Flamin' galah - the result of a 'chuck it in the pan & see what happens' type of a dye day. A brighter colourway than I would usually dye, but this would make for a fantastic pair of socks! Bright pink, coral and bold blue speckles. The name comes from the pink colourway, named galah, and that brought to mind the phrase 'yer flamin' galah', which i reckon is buried in my head from watching neighbours in the 90s. Yes, I'm that old. Anyway, I've learned since I dyed this that galah's are indeed that pink, and the phrase refers to someone who is a bit of a lovable doofus.
 
75% superwash merino, 25% nylon.
4 ply weight.
Each skein is 100g in weight & contains 425m (464yds) of yarn.
 
A softer than usual sock yarn, this is extremely nice next to the skin, whether as socks, hats, mitts or garments. The nylon content gives it strength, as does the slightly higher than usual twist. This also gives it a lovely crispness and depths to the colours.

This is a superwash yarn, so can go on a cool wool wash machine cycle, but I do always advise hand washing to preserve the colours.
 
Each skein is hand dyed in my home in North Wales. We are smoke free, but we do have a dog, although he's not generally allowed to play with the yarn! I use professional acid dyes which are fixed and thoroughly rinsed. Please note though that some colour bleed may occur on the first wash, especially with darker colours.
 
All skeins are dyed in small batches and I cannot guarantee the colour will be exactly from batch to batch. Please purchase enough to finish your project. If there is not sufficient quantity listed please get in touch. Most of my colourways are repeatable & can be dyed for you in a larger batch should you require it. It is advisable to alternated skeins within a project to minimise any differences between skeins, even from the same batch.
 
I try my best to get colours accurate but please do allow a little leeway for monitor and screen differences.
