Superhero DK is the non-superwash DK yarn you've been looking for...

35% Romney / 35% Bluefaced Leicester / 30% Falklands Corriedale

Approximately 225m per 100g

Superhero DK is here - a versatile, soft, lustrous non-superwash DK yarn that's perfect for sweaters and/or colourwork. The lovely folk at John Arbon Textiles spin this yarn exclusively for Cat & Sparrow, and it's so beautiful.  None of the wools are superwash treated, so they retain loads of their natural, lively character.

  • Bluefaced Leicester, Corriedale and Romney are all soft and beautifully textured, and all three take dye differently, which gives each skein fantastic depth of colour.
  • Superhero DK has a 3ply construction, so it's bouncy and squishy with plenty of elasticity.  It hast excellent stitch definition, which makes it idea for a colourwork yoke sweater or a thick and cosy two-colour brioche shawl. 
  • An automatic 10% discount will be applied at checkout on orders of 4 or more skeins. 

If you're looking for a great pattern to go with this yarn, check out:

Care: use a wool cycle if washing in your machine, but I advise gentle handwashing to keep your projects looking gorgeous for years to come.

Forest Sauvage / Ready to ship

Lovely non-superwash yarn with beautiful variegated colours but unfortunately 1 of the 4 skeins sent to me is much darker than the other 3 and possibly from a different dyelot (no info on label) so I'm not sure how I'll use it in my sweater. I'm enjoying the feel of the yarn as I'm knitting with it and would definitely purchase it again!
