Deseos DK
$25.00
Deseos it a lovely, soft, beautifully-dyed DK weight superwash that still has a little tooth. More than soft enough for neckwear, toothy enough for stranded colorwork, and each colorway is more complex than it appears at first blush. Just keep looking - the colors keep appearing!

Impact:
Laneras starts with ethical, sustainable, quality wool yarns and then hand dyes them with love. Their commitment to sustainability goes beyond the source of their wool. For example, in the factory where the wool is processed, the water they use is collected rainwater. All liquid and solid effluents are treated to meet the highest standards and are re-used onsite. In fact, this factory was recently evaluated as carbon-negative, which means they are removing more carbon from the environment than they are producing.
