A color based on the Legend of Solse Gat: The Monastery
The monastery, nestled in the forest, had several towers. A moat surrounded the monastery, while a wide road provided its entrance. The abbot and the monks who lived in the beautiful monastery didn't take the pious life too seriously. They gave religious practices short shrift. They preferred to sell their souls to the devil and lead a life that was diametrically opposed to the ideals of Christianity: they drank gallons of wine, gorged themselves at meals, and organized gatherings with witches and ghosts, where they celebrated the "Black Mass."
These shameful witches' councils were characterized by gastronomic and alcoholic excess. The monks, witches, and ghosts would drink gallons of wine from buckets together, and the clergy would gorge themselves. The devil himself mixed the wine and ensured there was always enough for everyone to drink. They danced together, with countless curses and oaths uttered by those present, until it became light again.
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.
