This colorway is made by starting with a very soft layer of green dye and then pouring over a generous helping of orchid and half as much old gold. Once those colors have set I flip the yarn and pour over a strong dose of Copenhagen Blue, flipping the yarn half way to ensure the blue sets on both sides. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLapis Lazuli came to be in play, as all my best colorways do. A simple thought, would this look good with that? The answer isn’t always yes, but more often than not it is! I really wanted something blue since I don’t have a lot of blue colorways and Copenhagen blue is my all time favorite. Initially I had no idea what I was going to call it, when one of my lovely local customers came in and suggested that it looked like Lapis Lazuli and I thought that was perfect! I love doing sneak peaks of new colorways with my locals, it always makes  me extra excited to release a colorway into the wild! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLapis Lazuli would pair well with Deep Sea, Lavender, Shadow, or Fog from the featured collection, but it is definitely a complex enough colorway to stand on its own! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLapis Lazuli will be available throughout the month of May on Nimble Sock, Plush Single, and Plush DK. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlease use the drop down menu to choose the base that you would like to order. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNimble Sock\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperwash Merino Wool\/ Nylon (85\/15), 19.5 micron merino\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFingering Weight, 2 ply\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e394 Yards, 100 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003e*****\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlush Single \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e3.5 oz\/ 430 Yards\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSingle \/  Fingering Weight\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e19.5 Micron Superwash merino wool\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen held double this yarn will create a DK yarn. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*****\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlush DK \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e100 Grams\/ 246 yards\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e4 ply \/  DK Weight\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e19.5 Micron Superwash merino wool\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen held double this yarn will create a Bulky weight yarn.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e****\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll ontheround yarn bases are certified cruelty free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperwash yarn is technically machine washable in a gentle cycle with like colors, I do however recommend hand washing your knits made with superwash yarn as the washer will tug and pull at your knits causing them to lose their shape or worse rip. I was my knits in the sink using luke warm water and Long Winter Farm Sweater Soap. This soap has lanolin in it which protects the natural fibers. I spot wash any stains and allow my sweater to soak for approximately 30 minutes. Rinse your sweater with cool water if necessary and them gently wring out any extra water, I use my top load washer spin cycle this this, but you can use a towel as well.  After the excess water is removed, lay your garment  flat to air dry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fiber was handdyed by ontheround using professional quality acid dyes. I dye my yarn in small batches and no skein will be 100% the same- that's what makes working with hand dyed yarn so fun!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI do my very best to accurately photograph my yarns but please note that not all monitors are the same.
