Snow Lotus | Basic Sock
This is a new base yarn that gives your project a soft light squish:)
It effortlessly captures color, creating an almost mystical quality. The merino sourced for this yarn is wonderfully plush and springy, ensuring a comfortable feel against the skin. Its versatility knows no bounds, making it a splendid choice for any project worn close to the skin – whether that's scarves, cardigans, shawls, or sweaters. Plus, it's perfect for hot weather, just like in sunny Singapore.
The yarn is hand painted by me, and no one skein is the same (4 skeins are in one dye pot and remaining two skeins in a separate dye pot. Do expect some slight variations if using all 6 skeins for your project and ideally, to alternate skein.’

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.
