Excalibur-Cardinal

Description

This self-striping sock yarn is perfect for the whole family.

*Excalibur was known for being unbreakable—just like this self-striping sock yarn.

So you’ll create wonders that will wrap the wearer’s foot in 3 stripes!

(like its big sister Merlin with 4 stripes)

Our yarns are hand-dyed, so plan the quantity you need for your projects, as color may vary from one dye lot to another.

We do our best to match our photos as closely as possible, but screens can vary.

So the color of the skeins you receive may vary slightly from the photo shown.

For a more even knit, I recommend alternating your skeins.

For care, even though Excalibur is washable (SW), I recommend hand-washing your knits and laying them flat to dry.

*According to legend, it was King Arthur’s magic sword. Some versions say there were two different swords named Excalibur and the Sword in the Stone, given to him by the Lady of the Lake, and that only Arthur managed to pull it from the block of stone where it was embedded—making him king of all Britain.
