The MerKing
Inspired by ‘the Gardens of the Merking’s Palace’, my absolute favourite of all Tolkien’s artwork, a stunning blend of undersea colours with pops of coral, pink and turquoise. This colourway just screams underwater magic and would work up beautifully into any project, as all those different tones will form a watercolour effect as they are knit/crocheted.

Please Note
- All yarn is hand dyed in a smoke-free, cat-friendly environment. (I don’t let him play with the yarn, though he’d love to!)
- Please wind into a ball or cake before use.
- While every effort is made to colour match photos, please be aware that colours may vary between monitors.
- As these skeins are hand dyed, we recommend alternating them through a larger project to avoid an obvious change when a new skein is used. A small amount of dye run is to be expected in the first wash; please wash on its own for the first time.
Washing Advice
With all our yarn bases, we recommend hand washing cold and laying flat to dry. We recommend using a small amount of wool wash, find our favourite here.
A very small amount of dye run is possible, though unlikely, especially with very rich, dark or bright colours, so we do recommend washing on it's own the first time.
