Hand-Dyed Yarn - English Mash 032

All Voie de Vie Yarn colorways are produced by hand with an eye toward color celebration and water conservation. The end result is an efficient use of water, yet the colorways are beautiful and always original.

Produced in small batches, these yarns all have subtle differences so no two skeins are ever exactly the same. English Mash is currently available on the following bases:

Mohair Magic is a laceweight blend of 73% mohair and 27% nylon and sold in generous cakes of 520 yards. Prized for its excellent warmth and airy weight, this mohair is great worked on its own, or held together with another strand of yarn. Use smaller needles for somewhat more defined stitches, or take advantage of its generous halo and work it up on larger needles. This could easily become a workhorse fiber in your stash!

Smooth Sock is a sock weight yarn (obviously!); 100 superwash merino, 438 yards sold in 100 gram skeins. This base takes dye clearly and vibrantly. This yarn is great for lace, all kinds of accessories beyond socks, as well as light-weight garments.

Sock Single Mini is a dynamite 80 yards of single ply 100% superwash wool. Colors dye up so vividly on this base! Use liberally to bring some unexpected additional color to socks or combine colorways to create a one-of-a-kind small accessory.

SW Bling is a light fingering weight yarn; 70% superwash wool, 25% nylon, 5% stellina; 462 yards sold in 100 gram skeins. This base likes all dyes and produces a vibrant skein with flecks of silver bling. This base is great for all kinds of accessories as well as garments.

Year of the Rabbit is a fingering weight yarn blend of 80% merino and 20% angora; 219 yards sold in 50 gram skeins. This blend takes dyes in a slightly muted manner; the result is a lovely, soft yarn with a slight halo. This blend is wonderful not only for accessories but for early season cold weather garments.
