Hi! Thank you for checking out my listing. This yarn is hand dyed from Suburban Sticher and purchased as a fade kit. The original cost was $130.00. I’ve priced at less than half of what I paid. I believe it is a great deal for your next fade shawl or cardigan project. If you make an offer, please take this information into consideration. Thank you. Yardage is 460 per skein and is sock yarn ( fingering) merino and nylon 75/25. If you purchase at full price, I will wind all four skeins for you. Let me know.
