Knitters and crocheters in the know can tell you that making a pair of socks is like eating potato chips: you can’t stop at one pair! Socks make the perfect portable project. Socks are also safe ways to let your love for color experimentation run free. But Mani-Pedi isn’t just for socks! We love using it for wristers, fingerless gloves, our favorite lace shawls, and scarves. The 50 gram put-up allows you to easily take on projects that combine thin yarns in multiple colorways. So cover yourself head to toe in Mani-Pedi!

Product description

Galilea is made for lovers of color - for knitters who treasure the subtle nuances of coloring that can only be achieved by careful hand dyeing. Each skein is hand painted to the highest standards of the trade using only safe, colorfast dyes. As with all hand dyed yarns we recommend buying the full amount of skeins needed for your project at once. For larger pieces knitted in a single color it is advisable to alternate skeins every 5-7 rows to avoid abrupt color changes. With Galilea it is so easy to achieve that exquisitely textured color play of a handmade master piece - you will be delighted to say "I made it myself"! Technically Galilea is a sock yarn (meaning it is strong enough for gentle machine washing) but it is so pretty that it is mostly shown off in shawls, wraps and other fashion accessories... after all, you have bragging rights! Did we mention that Galilea is made to be worn on bare skin? It is spun from super soft SuperWash Merino wool with just a touch of Nylon for strength. It is so sumptuous and squishable that you may want to pet your skeins. Before knitting with Galilea we recommend winding your skein into a ball for tangle free knitting - or crochet, of course. Caring for your finished pieces is super simple: Hand wash or machine wash, gentle cycle, in cold water with mild wool detergent. Lay flat to dry. Skein of 100g (3.5oz) / 354m (387yd) — 80% SW Merino Wool 20% Nylon — 8-ply Sock Yarn Fingering Weight — US Needle 1-4

• MIX AND MATCH: Galilea colors are playful, vibrant, saturated and colorfast. Pick your favorites - life is too short to only wear neutrals ;-)
• ECO FRIENDLY: We only use environmentally responsible low impact dyes and vinegar—no water is polluted or wasted to achieve colorfastness. Galilea is not only safe for the planet but also kind to your skin.
• SUPER SOFT AND STRONG: Galilea skeins are cuddly, squooshy and oh, so soft… but wait, sock yarn needs to be durable too! To that end we gave Galilea an extra twist; instead of the usual 3-4 plies this yarn has 8 plies. This extra cable twist provides remarkable stitch definition and assures that your projects keep their shape.
• YARN SPECS: Skein of 100g (3.5oz) / 354m (387yd) — 80% SW Merino Wool 20% Nylon — 8-ply Sock Yarn Fingering Weight — US Needle 1-4
• SIMPLE CARE: Hand wash or machine wash on gentle cycle. Use cold water with mild wool detergent. Do not bleach or use softeners. Dry flat.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the yarn shrink when run through the dryer
Answer:	Yes, the instructions say machine wash cold, dry flat. No dryer. The yarn is 80% wool, 20% nylon.
Question:	Just received Andromeda, and it hardly has colors? Very few patches are dyed at all. Is this like normal
Answer:	Hi, I just looked up your order: you purchased Nebula - not Andromeda ;-) Nebula indeed has much more subtle coloring. Please just contact amazon for a return and order Andromeda. BTW, the yarn names are printed on the small white UPC sticker on the cellophane bag.
Question:	Does the kit include knitting needles or circular needles
Answer:	Needles are not included. This pattern recommends US 4 needles which most knitters already own (it is a standard size/mid-range). If you need to purchase needles we suggest Size US 4/3.5 mm (32 in/80 cm circular). Hope this helps ;-)
Question:	Do you have a picture of a knitted swatch, so that I can see the way the colorway a bit better
Answer:	Sorry, swatches are not available but there are already quite a few pictures of knitted items in the knit kits listings as well as customer reviews. We are working on showing more completed items and invite all our customers to post pics of their work (in progress is fine too!). Apollo, the color you are asking about is a typical semi-solid. Apollo is part of the knit kit Andromeda and you will be able to see the knitted scarf made with Apollo as soon as the kit is back in stock. Hope this helps, Tanja
