We thought that a special accessory was due for the launch of a very special yarn, as NEBULA.
So we worked with Eva of The Blue Rabbit House to create a gorgeous project bag, that would portrait one of the main actors that actually made the yarn too, a cashmere goat of course!
Eva drew one of her elegant illlustrations and perfectly caught the mood for this project.
The handy drawstring bag is made of 100% organic cotton, printed on the front side with an enchanted illustration of Smokey, one of Giulia's bucks, by The Blue Rabbit House.
To close the bag, you just pull on both sides of the vegan cork cords.
Dimensions:
The bag measures 12 inches (30 cm) wide and a little over 10 inches (27 cm) high. The width of the bag is 4 inches (10 cm).
This is perfect for sock, hat, mittens and shawl projects, it is roomy enough to contain up to a lightweight jumper or medium sized shawl, but can be folded to be kept in a rucksack or al larger proper bag.
We recommend that all yarn is washed by hand. This ensures it’ll be beautiful for as long as possible and will wear well. When you’ve finished your project, dunk it in a sink of lukewarm water – with a no rinse wool wash if that takes your fancy, leave it to saturate for a while, then roll it up in a towel to squeeze out excess water and pin out flat to dry.
As with all textiles and all yarn, sometimes colour can come out. It can be caused by a difference in the water ph used to wash the item, detergents, or an over-saturation of dye that hasn’t quite finished rinsing out.
All of our hand dyed yarn is rinsed by hand in the sink, and each batch is soaked, then individual skeins are rinsed to make sure no colour bleeds. This isn’t foolproof though, and occasionally skeins in darker colours can bleed a little. In case it happens simply put your yarn or finished item in a pan (that you won’t use for food), add water and a generous glug or vinegar or citric acid, and then slowly bring up to heat. It should be simmering but not boiling. Then turn the heat off, put a lid on the pan, and leave it – ideally overnight. You should find that the water is now clear, and all that remains is to rinse your yarn. If the water isn’t quite clear, rinse it anyway – much like with hair dye, there can be excess dye which needs to run off.
