Dream In Color Smooshy

Dream In Color Smooshy Sock Yarn

This is wonderfully handpainted yarn with a truly soft and comfortable feel!

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.
