This is a high twist yarn with a subtle silver sparkle running through it. The twist makes it a perfect sock yarn giving the yarn robustness and spring. It sucks up the dye, and speckles really well, it also works nicely for glazing techniques. Colours appear bright and clear on this yarn. Please see the notes on dyeing stellina here.

The fabric knitted in this yarn is really bouncy and soft, it makes the best socks ever. Also suitable for pretty much anything you can think of!

*Chester Wool are a small family owned company specialising in high quality undyed yarn for hand-dye artists.

** Sock blanks are designed for dyeing self striping and gradient yarns. The majority of Chester Yarn Co's sock blanks are single stranded and can only be unravelled from one end, so they would work best for shawls, but if you’re looking to dye yarns suitable for knitting two matching self striping socks, try 49170A, our double stranded sock blank.
