There is something absolutely magical about simple, undyed luxury yarn. It is a blank canvas that you can either sit back and admire as-is, or you can choose to dye it yourself.
This base is called "I Knead This."

The 80/10/10 blend of springy superwash merino with cashmere and nylon is perfect for a soft yarn which performs well. Because cashmere and nylon are both slippery fibers, superwash merino pairs well to help highlight the best features of these fibers without the natural pilling which occurs when slippery fibers are blended together.
The two plies plump up against each other and result in a gorgeous texture that's evident in the knitted fabric.
