85% Merino  Superwash - 15% Donegal Nep

100 g / 400 m

The "Nep" are small knots or clusters of fibers that tangle into the yarn. These Nep, characteristic of Donegal yarn, have a significant impact on the appearance and texture of the fabric. 

The Nep in Klyng yarn are made of cotton and nylon, which is why the white "dots" do not take on the dye of the merino base: in fact, the dye used by Marzia is for animal fibers (wool) and not for plant fibers (cotton).

100 gram and 400 meter skein.

It is recommended to work with 3 - 4 mm needles or a 4 mm crochet hook.

Gauge/tension: from 25 to 32 stitches = 10 cm.

Le Moire is a small yarn brand born from Marzia's passion for precious fibers, colors, and dyeing. 

The name “Le Moire, the thread of destiny”, is inspired by the goddesses in Greek mythology who had the task of weaving the thread of life of every man, determining its length, and cutting it when his time of death came. 

Like the Moirai, Marzia gives color and life to her yarns: she doesn't use supernatural powers, but acid dyes, hoping to bring joy and pleasure to those who use them to create unique garments.

She carefully selects all the bases: the fleece comes from farms that respect animal welfare and do not practice mulesing, and the silk is Mulberry (mulberry silk), shiny and slippery, with very fine and linear filaments, precious and very resistant. 

The entire dyeing process is done by hand and each skein receives care and attention. 

Since hand-dyed yarns are different from each other, even if from the same batch, it is advisable to alternate skeins to achieve a uniform effect in the finished work.

Marzia uses non-toxic acid dyes and food-grade citric acid, which helps the dye fix to the fibers.

After dyeing, the wool is washed with a neutral, odorless soap to remove any traces of dye and rinsed until the water is clear.

Care: hand wash in cold water.

It is normal that in some cases the yarn may release a little color during washing, especially if it is intense or dark colors. If working on multi-colored projects, it is advisable to use color-catching sheets.

Always use a soap suitable for delicate wool garments, without fabric softener.

Wool in a wet state can grow up to 50%. That is why it is important to remove as much water as possible using a towel; when dry, the garment will return to its original size. Lay flat to dry.
