Description
This is DK Twist from Life in the Long Grass. The colors in these hand-dyed skeins are incredibly vibrant! Use them on their own to make a statement sweater, or pop them into a colorwork project. We would love to see these in a weaving project as well! The Merino is incredibly soft and a joy to work with.

Why we love Life in the Long Grass
The dyeing studio for Life in the Long Grass is at the foot of Mushermore Mountain in Ireland. They carefully select their yarns, which are sourced from small, ethical farms in Ireland, England, Uruguay, Peru, Argentina, France, and Portugal. Their wool is mulesing-free.
They use a blend of non-toxic acid dyes, low-impact fiber-reactive dyes, and natural dyes. The setting agent they use is food-grade. With this thoughtful process, they're able to produce a product you can feel good about purchasing and using, all why getting the most vibrant and unique colorways.
Their commitment to the environment includes sustainable packing and labels, as well as recycling the water used during dyeing to minimize waste.
