This listing is for one 4 ounce skein of 5/2 tencel. Dryad 100% Tencel is very shiny, super smooth, light, and hand painted yarn made from wood pulp cellulose. This man-made, vegan, and environmentally friendly fiber is a fantastic alternative to wool, for knitting, crocheting, or weaving. Of course, it can be used for any number of fun crafts. Its use is only limited by your imagination!
Since these items are professionally hand-painted/dyed there is a little color variation from batch to batch. I hand paint six skeins of tencel per batch, and try to match the colors in the photo as much as possible. If you want to see a photo of the most recent dyelot message me.
On average considerably more water is used when washing mx dyes out of tencel and bamboo yarn, than for non fiber reactive dyes. However I have figured out how to use considerably less water to rinse mx dye out of tencel and bamboo yarn, while removing all or most of the excess dye. Unfortunately some colors may still bleed a little dye. Black, turquoise, and red dyes are prone to bleeding, but there should not be enough dye to stain your hands.
Plum is hand dyed a beautiful shade of purple that closely resembles the color of a ripe plum.
