Knitted with plant-dyed (hand-dyed) yarn. This is a brand new, unused item, just finished knitting. It's plant-dyed, but I'm not sure what plants were used, so it's unknown, but I think it's mugwort. It can be shipped the same day. 100% wool Worsted weight *As a knitter, the finish is beautiful. *Price reduced. I am using precious yarn that my mother left for me. I am not considering further price reductions at this time.
