Trine

Spincycle (Washington), Dream State

• US 7/G (4.5 mm)
• 5 stitches/inch
• 150 yards
• Worsted
• 100 percent Merino

Another marled beauty from Spincycle, this time a pretty 3-ply on a non-superwash Merino base in coloways that offer a little more predictability. Pair Trine with Dream State for thoroughly entertaining color play, pair it with a solid color to jazz up your colorwork, or use it alone to make sweaters and accessories of every variety. Hand wash, and lay flat to dry.

For high-contrast colorwork, please consider steam blocking to avoid color transfer, especially if you are combining hand-dyed yarn with a light-colored yarn. If you are using a very color-saturated skein together with a light color, please consider soaking your darker skeins before using them in a water bath with a little white vinegar added as a mordant. To wash knitwear made with Spincycle, please use cold water and a no-rinse wool wash (such as Eucalan or Soak).
