Hand-Dyed
Yarns
Hand, and natural vegetable-dyed yarns in wool. Because
of the hand-dying process, the colour intensity,
as you'll see in the close-ups below, varies.
Suitable for all types of miniature knitting projects
where wool is preferred for elasticity. These yarns are thinner than DMC
Medicis, but not as thin as Cobweb.
 The yarns knit exceptionally well on 1.25,
1.00 and .90mm needles. When knitting with any
natural fibre, and especially for miniature knitting,
it is important to block the item afterwards. This
link, Blocking
Miniature Knits,
will take you to a page of instructions which detail
the preparation of your miniature knitted item
(washing instructions) and showing how to block it afterwards.

This is definitely a "think outside of
