After a warm, sultry day, clouds gathered in the dark sky. Disaster was approaching. Like a fierce thunderstorm, the spirit of Blue Gerrit raged through the air, straightening what had been crooked.
The miller of the Doesburger windmill wasn't afraid of it. He knew the stories from Lunteren, but nothing had ever happened there. He simply did his job. From every bag of flour sold, he was allowed to keep one shovel. That was his wages for grinding. But the miller appropriated more.
Especially from poor farmers, he took not one, but two shovels from the sack of flour. After a sultry day, a heavy thunderstorm was approaching. The sky turned black. Now, even the miller became afraid. Lightning struck the mill. The man was struck by the spirit of Blue Gerrit just as he was pulling a second shovel from a bag. His hands were numb. He could no longer move. The miller regretted his actions. Slowly, he could move his hands again. At that moment, he knew that the spirit of Blue Gerrit lived on.
Some general information about a skein of Veluwsch Verfgoed DK mini:
- One skein of 20 grams contains 45 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.
