Blue Slate - Workhorse Sock Yarn Merino/Nylon 8ply/DK

Inspired by stormy skies, weathered stone, and cool mineral tones, Blue Slate blends muted blues and smoky undertones into a calm, atmospheric colourway.

Workhorse DK is a dependable, versatile DK-weight yarn designed for garments, accessories, and everyday knitting.

Spun from a durable blend of soft merino wool and nylon, this practical yarn combines comfort, resilience, and easy care — making it ideal for sweaters, cardigans, hats, shawls, socks, and cosy everyday knits.

Each skein is hand dyed in small batches, creating subtle tonal variation that brings depth, warmth, and character to every project.
