FINNWOOL - MILK TEA

Mominoki's Finnwool is a exceptional fingering weight yarn spun from the wool of hardy sheep who have spent generations adapting to some of the harshest, most unforgiving weather conditions in Europe - a heritage that resides in every fibre. This 100% virgin wool carries a quiet resilience and character that sets it apart from more conventional fingering weights, with a satisfying rustic quality that lends itself beautifully to textural work; cables emerge with striking definition and colourwork motifs sit cleanly and crisply against one another. After blocking, the yarn develops a subtle, romantic halo that softens the finished fabric and adds a gentle warmth and depth to the surface of your work. And when it comes to colour, Finnwool is nothing short of breathtaking — each skein in the stunning solid palette is individually hand dyed in Berlin, resulting in rich, beautifully saturated tones that showcase the natural affinity of this exceptional virgin wool fibre for absorbing deep, characterful colour.

Hand dyed yarn is extra special because every skein is one of a kind. There are no batches and no perfectly matched skeins. This is where you can see the artistic point of view of each dye house we work with. Some dyers are quite exact in their repeatable colours while others are quite artistic and splashy, valuing the creation of each skein rather than the closeness of the colourway.

We take great care to photograph our products accurately, and still the unique skeins in your order may look different to the photograph, and they may even look different to each other. If you are using hand dyed yarns and are concerned with dramatic colour changes, when changing from one skein to the next, alternate rows to blend in the new skein.

• Items made from 100% Wool should be washed by hand in cold or lukewarm water with a gentle rinse-free detergent. Use very little agitation when washing so as not to felt or full the fabric. Never wring or twist handmade woollen items when washing.
• Gently squeeze as much water as possible, roll in a towel and press moisture out. Then lay your finished piece flat to dry.

Wool does not need to be washed after every wear as it is a natural, breathable product. When you can see (or, rarely, smell) that a woollen item is in need of washing, follow the above instructions
