A color based on the legend surrounding the White Ladies of the Veluwe.
In this story, the White Lady of Lochem, the mistress of all the White Ladies of the Veluwe, Salland, the Achterhoek, and Twente, is very kind to the children. She helps them fall in love. This is usually not the case with White Ladies. Many accounts have been written about the White Ladies, and all sorts of evil are generally attributed to them. Some say that the White Ladies are the same as the Elves, of whom many legends exist. Just as there are good and evil angels, there are good and evil Elves. Black and dark Elves are small, deformed, malicious, devilish enemies of humanity and Christianity, shunning daylight and working at night.
Some general information about a skein of Veluwsch Verfgoed DK:
- One skein contains 225 meters of yarn
- The yarn is made of 75% superwash merino and 25% nylon
- Ideal for making socks, for example, but this superwash yarn is actually suitable for all kinds of knitting and crocheting.
- Gauge is 22 stitches x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm
- Suitable for knitting needles/crochet hooks 3.5mm - 5.0mm
- This yarn is hand-dyed. This makes each skein unique and slightly different in color. The colors and skeins shown are therefore indicative and may vary slightly in reality due to screen distortions. - After fixation, the yarn is hand-washed with a high-quality wool detergent. You can expect the yarn to hardly bleed when it comes into contact with water. However, with dark or bright colors, some colored water may still appear. Don't worry about this.
- The washing instructions for this yarn type are a maximum of 30°C on a wool wash cycle in the machine. Never tumble dry or wash products made with this yarn in hotter water to prevent felting. Never use fabric softener, but always choose a wool detergent.
- The yarn is super soft and provides perfect stitch definition with a beautiful sheen.
- Skeins dyed with multiple colors create a mottled effect when used, while skeins dyed in semi-solid colors create a relatively even gradient. It's always possible that even in a semi-solid color, a hint of white can appear. This is sometimes unavoidable during manual dyeing. However, in practice, it's usually not a problem. Each skein is hand-wound and labeled. Therefore, not every skein may look "perfect." However, this is a conscious choice and simply indicates that your skein has been crafted with love and care.
