This is a delicate matt lace. 

Although our cellulose yarns are prepared for dyeing they do benefit with an extra scouring step, this just helps the dye penetrate better and you will get stronger colours. For this we recommend the following steps:

For 1 kilo add 20mls of Synanthrapol and 40gms of Soda Ash to a pot with plenty of water, add the yarn in, and simmer for 1 hour, rinse and then proceed as you would normally for dyeing a cellulose fibre. This is the same procedure if you are using natural dyes on these yarns, or Procion MX/Fiber reactive dyes. Once prepared the yarn will take the dye really well, without extra prep the colours will be nice, but they will appear more muted and soft. The knitted fabric is super light and drapey, lace stitches are well defined in this fabric, and it is great for shawls, or for light summer garments.
