Salmon Pink | Lotus Merino
This is a new formulated base yarn that gives your project a little sheen;)
Lotus fibre is a unique material that has been used for centuries in different parts of the world. Lotus fibre is considered a luxury material and is often more expensive than other textiles.
Lotus fibre is a highly sustainable material that is completely natural and biodegradable., make it a promising alternative to synthetic fibres in the fashion industry.
The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and has a soft, silky texture. Similar to merino, Lotus fibre has good insulation properties, keeping the wearer warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. Try them out now!
The yarn is hand painted by me, and no one skein is the same.

Care Instructions
Gentle hand wash in cold water and dry flat under shade. Due to the nature of the dye, some bleeding may occur. Wash dark colors separately.
Each skein is unique. While they may be hand dyed in the same lot, the tones may vary from one skein to another.
As with all hand dyed yarns, I would recommend that you use two skeins at a time, alternating from every couple of rows/ rounds (unless it is a one-skein project).
All fibres are hand washed, but due to the nature of the dye, some bleeding may occur. Recommended hand washing separately and lay flat to dry.
