Description

Wool Kitchen Merino Silk is a four stranded smooth and silky worsted spun 4ply yarn. It is at it’s best in projects like shawls and wraps that really benefit from it’s beautiful sheen and drape.

Helen Reed, the dyer behind the yarn, brings a fascination with colours from her urban environment to her practice, whilst also drawing inspiration from constellations and cosmic explosions in the night sky. She approaches dyeing as a knitter, often reverse engineering her colourways from the fabric she'd like to knit up. Her signature 'zip yarns' made up of a solid plus a vibrant multicolour pop, are perfectly suited to knitting and crocheting using assigned pooling techniques.

Wool Kitchen yarns are dyed up the road in Helen's garden shed dyeing studio in Walthamstow.
