Helix DK
$39.00
Helix is a unique self-striping yarn made from US sourced Rambouilet and Targhee wool. It is hand dyed by Ewetopia and processed from combed top making it extremely soft. The striping sequences are random and range in length, but are medium to long stripes, making it exciting for the yoke of a stranded sweater or shawl.
Each skein even within the same lot can be drastically different looking! This is part of the excitement of working with hand made unique yarns, if you order more than 1 skein in a colorway we will do our best to find the best possible matching skeins!
