Licorice Twist has a secret: one of the plies of this four-ply wool is more dye-absorbent, resulting in a fantastic tweed effect, even when it's dyed a solid color. When dyed with multi-colors, the secret strand adds complexity to the mix. We suggest using acid dyes. It's 100% merino wool, plump and rounded, with a natural spring that renders it a joy to work with. Feltable. It's a classic worsted weight yarn, ideal for throws, mitts, sweaters and any garment. Hand wash, dry flat.

This has become my new favorite yarn. The feel is fantastic. It takes both acid dyes and natural dyes phenomenally. The different absorbances between the plies creates a heathered appearance on single colors. When I do color banding with the acid dyes it triples the color variations. My customers love it. They buy it as fast as I can dye it.

dont know what to think about this yarn. used espresso bean acid dye expecting something between purple and brown. got neither. 1% DOS= grey. overdye with 1.25 DOS= darker grey. will NOT take the red in this particular formula. bizarre. unsatisfactory. will avoid this yarn.

I had a skein of this in my stash and had forgotten its secret different ply (I think 1 of the plies is super-wash so it absorbs more color?)Dyed it in a big vat of unopened redwood cones and got a FANTASTIC result. A nice redwoody red with a very saturated darker red streak. Incredible especially as it was a surprise. Would use again!I wonder if this is a yarn that needs to be scoured before using? If it still has spinning oil on it none of the wool will absorb dye well. Might be why others were disappointed?

I dyed with natural indigo. There was no color differentiation. (There was when wet but as soon as it dried nothing.) When I dyed with indigo and osage orange the green had slight variation in it. I was super disappointed about the blue. I wouldn't recommend for natural dying. As yarn its fine its not super soft wool. If I can figure out how to upload pictures I will.
