This wool thread is a strong golden orange, dyed with a combination of madder and weld plants. It is available in 50 yard hanks. This 2-ply thread can be used for to work various types of embroidery (plies NOT separable as with DMC or similar!), weaving narrow goods (eg, tablet weaving) or tapestry at approx. 30 ends per inch), for braiding techniques such as fingerloop or lucet, and other historical and modern fiber arts.

Madder is best known as a red dye, but different techniques will also yield orange. It has very good lightfastness and washfastness as compared to most other sources of similar colors. Weld holds a reputation as one of the most light-fast yellows, but it will fade from sunlight faster than the madder will, resulting in this yarn gradually taking on a redder cast over years of sun exposure.
