Bleeding Heart (Wooly Mammoth)

Bleeding Heart is soft at first glance—creamy blush and pale petals—but beneath it runs a deeper story, streaked with rich wine tones that refuse to stay hidden. It feels like love that lingered a little too long, beautiful and bruised all at once. Hand dyed in small batches, this colorway captures the quiet ache of something once tender, now unforgettable.

SPECIFICATIONS

• 80% Superwash Merino wool and 20% Nylon
• Approximately 1,900 yards
• Fingering Weight

This versatile 80/20 blend is the "gold standard" of fingering weight yarns, balancing the warmth and breathability of wool with the durability of nylon.

What can I make with this yarn?

• Durable Hand-Knit Socks: The 20% nylon content provides the necessary strength to prevent holes in the heels and toes, while the superwash wool ensures they stay soft and comfortable.
• Intricate Shawls & Wraps: With excellent stitch definition, this yarn is perfect for showing off complex lace patterns or delicate cables. It drapes beautifully after blocking.
• Lightweight Garments: Create breathable sweaters, cardigans, or camisoles that are perfect for layering. The fingering weight ensures your finished piece isn't too bulky.
• Baby & Children’s Wear: Because it is superwash (machine washable!), it is a practical choice for baby blankets, sweaters, and hats that need frequent cleaning.
• Accessories: This yarn is ideal for lightweight mittens, beanies, or elegant cowls that feel soft against the skin without being itchy.

Care Tip: While the superwash treatment allows for machine washing on a gentle cycle, we recommend laying your items flat to dry to preserve the vibrant color and shape for years to come.
