Shamrock is our salute to the Emerald Isle. It has three plies of solid color and one hand-dyed ply. The result is a colorfully flecked fabric reminiscent of classic tweed. The warmth and durability of this wool make it ideal for traditional pullovers, jackets and hats. Recommended for felting.

Note: Since one strand of Shamrock is hand-dyed, this yarn has the potential for pooling. Pooling can be a design feature, but if you do not want it to happen, alternate between different balls of yarn every few rows.
The balls are marked with the hand-dyed dye lot. Several hand-dyed dye lots are included in one solid dye lot for the other three plies. Therefore, the dye lot number indicates that both the hand-dyed and solid color are identical for all balls in that dye lot.
For the most accurate color matching, please purchase a Shamrock Yarn color card.
