I've always dreamed of the life of a star!  I mean come on, it's a great story...

Some silly random sheep sells a mountain of discounted yarn, climbing - or more dizzily stumbling -  to the top of fame and stardom through cute acts of mischief and clever witty comebacks.

sigh...

Alright, how about regionally renown? Slightly well known? Fine, you have to at least give me vaguely "herd" of? 

BaaaAAaa-haa-haaaaa... ok that was bad.

Dream In Color Starry

Starry is the same fiber and gauge as Smooshy, but it is spun through with 2% silver fibers for a subtle and very swank sparkle.

Inspired by the play of light in nature, the veil dyeing process brings depth and life to color, giving garments a subtle, dramatic shimmer and shine.  While veil dyed yarn has all the unique character of other hand-dyed yarns, it will not “landscape” or “pool.”  The result?  A magnificent, flattering garment every time!

Dream In Colors superwash yarns are machine washable on a delicate cycle with cold water and can be tumbled dry on low heat - remove while still damp.  It is a perfect choice for socks, baby things or anything that requires frequent washing.

Made of finer fibers for an incredibly soft yarn that feels comfortable, never itchy against your skin.

This yarn is also ideal for scarves, sweaters and larger garments. The yarn has excellent spring and elasticity. Cables and bobbles will standout beautifully, and the subtle color variations unique to the veil dyeing process won't distract from intricate stitch patterns the way that many hand dyed yarns will.

As with most hand dyed yarns, it is recommended that two balls be used at the same time when working on larger garments.

• 4 oz, approximately 450 yards per skein
