Gold
Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au from the Latin ‘aurum’, meaning ‘gold’. It has been regarded as a precious metal for millennia, used for jewellery, coinage and adornment. It has a characteristic yellow colour and resists tarnishing, making it fairly easy to spot in soil, where it might be found as buried treasure. It is typically regarded as the king of metals, the highest accolade which can be awarded at many sporting events such as the Olympics and Commonwealth Games is the gold medal.

Our non superwash yarn is spun in Yorkshire from British fleece and hand dyed in small batches in Birmingham. Whilst colour consistency between batches is good, due to the dyeing process no two skeins will be identical and there may be slight colour variations between batches. It is therefore recommended that you buy enough yarn from the same batch to complete your projects and that you alternate skeins every other row.
Once you have completed your garment, it is recommended that you handwash your finished item in lukewarm water with your wool wash of choice and lay your washed garment flat to dry. Although the yarn is thoroughly rinsed after dyeing, some slight colour bleed may occur at first wash.
I photograph my yarn in natural daylight, however colour variations can occur between monitors.
