I dyed this original yarn with the colors of cats.

Good evening, everyone.
Today, I’d like to introduce this product.


Introducing My Original Yarn
The other day, I introduced the Merino Alpaca Sock yarn, but this time, I have dyed three other cat-inspired colors: silver tabby,orange tabby, and tortoiseshell—excluding calico.
Since some of you may have recently started following my work, I’d like to take a moment to talk about my original yarn today.

What do you think of the appearance of this original yarn?
Many hand-dyed yarns, especially sock yarns, are often wound into long, elegant hanks.
In comparison, my original yarn has a somewhat stout and compact form—it may not be the most photogenic yarn.
However, there is a reason behind this shape.

Which of these two yarns is thicker?
The answer is that both have the same length (100g/400m).
So, why do they look so different?
While the twist of the yarns is one factor, there’s something else I notice when dyeing them.
When I dye and wring out the original yarn, it looks pretty similar to other yarns. However, once it's dried, it puffs up to about double the size.
Other yarns also expand a bit, but not as much as the original yarn.
Because of this, I wind the original yarn more loosely compared to others, so as not to squash that volume.

Now, what's great about this volume is that whatever you knit, the result is always light and airy.
For garments, depending on the pattern, you can often finish with less than 300g of yarn.
Another great thing about the original yarn is how incredibly soft it feels.
It has a smooth, slightly moist texture, which is the yarn’s standout feature.
Merino wool comes in different grades.
(The lower the number, the finer the fibers and the higher the quality.)


The yarn of my original collection has a fiber thickness of 18.5 microns, making it equivalent to Extra Fine Merino.
Since this isn’t a face-to-face sale, it’s hard to convey this, but I can assure you it doesn’t itch at all. It’s a great choice for those with sensitive skin.

Now that I’ve shared all the positives, I’d like to mention a few aspects where the original yarn might not be as strong.
This yarn has a looser twist, which makes it prone to pilling, even though it has undergone shrinkage treatment.
Compared to other shrinkage-treated yarns, this one tends to form pills more easily.
Because of this, it's not ideal for socks that experience a lot of friction during daily use.
If you do want to make socks, I recommend saving them for relaxing moments, like after a bath or during quiet reading time, when you're not putting too much stress on the yarn.

The original yarn is made for me by a yarn manufacturer, which means it’s a unique material you won’t find elsewhere.
Although its appearance may be a bit stout, I encourage you to give it a try!
The yarn will be available for purchase on February 21 at 8:00 PM.
Thank you for your support! 🐈
