Yggdrasil on DK - Merino/Silk/Ya
60% Superwash Merino 20% Silk 20 % Yak
A soft and luxurious DK weight yarn. This yarn is almost the same fibre mix as the Singles and the same light grey when undyed so all colours look at bit different on these two. Perfect for shawls and soft garments with a lot of drape.
In Norse mythology Yggdrasil is the “world tree”. Yggdrasil is evergreen, it has branches that stretch out all over the world, and it has roots that go all the way down to the deepest places. Many mysterious creatures make Yggdrasil their home. Opinion is divided on whether Yggdrasil is supposed to be an ash or a yew.
An ash I know,
Yggdrasil its name,
With water white
is the great tree wet;
Thence come the dews
that fall in the dales,
Green by Urth's well
does it ever grow.
Völuspá
The colour is a rich woodland green a little on the cold side inspired by the pines of a yewtree.
