Ok, so let's consider what should be a werewolf but is actually a crocodile some dyer's magic! Croco-Wolf is what happens when medieval imagination refuses to stay in its lane. Part wolf, part crocodile, entirely monstrous or perhaps simply a creature that exists somewhere between categories. A gorgeous brown and cool toned blend that will work up beautifully. Rather than short bursts of color, each skein has longer lines of color so it will pool in gorgeous patterns depending on your project. The colorway has a blend of navy, chestnut, indigo and pecan with a little overlay of persimmon on some of the brown areas to give a more rust look not only to mimic the colors in the manuscript but to give your work dimension. The colorway is inspired by what I thought was a werewolf but turned out to be a crocodile eating a man at night. 

Croco-Wolf's Bite: Each skein is 75% merino/25% nylon (fingering/sock/4-ply). 400m/100g. Each package comes with Halloween charms as well.  If you would like to request this in 100% merino fingering sock or DK, please reach out. 

Description: The merino gives natural elasticity which is boosted with the nylon so you get great movement and stretch but it will bounce back wonderfully into shape. The merino fibres are not itchy or scratchy on the skin. The yarn is perfect for socks but can equally can be knitted into scarves, shawls, bags, granny squares, tops, or baby garments which will feel soft next to the skin due to the fine merino used. As this is superwash, you can wash your finished product in a washing machine. Recommended not to use water hotter than 30°C.  Manuscript image is from: Richard de Fournival, Bestiaire d’Amour, Lorraine 14th centuryBodleian Library, MS. Douce 308, fol. 99r
