About This Yarn

This is the Zebra version of Sheila’s Gold. This bouncy base has pre-dyed sections of black running through it to add interest. This is super fun to dye, and you can go from really subtle contrasts to really bright fun colours. This looks great in the skein. It sucks up the dye and speckles work really well on the non-black sections. The construction is very robust so can take a hammering.

The fabric holds its shape and has a gentle texture on the knit stitches. It works really well for socks, and garments, and is a great choice for children’s clothing as it is soft and long lasting.
