Flamingo Croquet Merino/Silk

I love the scene in Alice in Wonderland where the Queen of Hearts challenges Alice to a game of croquet and the mallets are flamingos. Alice's flamingo is particularly uncooperative. 

*Please note that these are hand-dyed in small batches and colors may vary slightly from braid to braid.

A 60/40 blend of Merino and mulberry silk.  Merino is a fine wool, great for next to the skin garments. Fine crimp makes for elasticity in a handspun yarn.  This is also a great blend for wet felting. Merino typically has a staple length of 2-4 inches. Silk adds shine, strength, and softness to this blend.
