Gedifra Dandy
60% merino wool, 20% acrylic and 20% nylon.
Skein 70 yards / 65 meters, 50 grams.
Gauge: 12 stitches = 4 inches on needle Size #10.5 (US) 7 - 8 mm. (bulky)
Label recommends handwash or dry clean.
Retailed for $10 per ball.
This yarn was discontinued in 2004.
Very interesting construction: a wool core wrapped with a papery ribbon for a wild multicolor effect. Light fuzz but mostly smooth.
The skeins pictured are Color 1467/0040, mustard, green and browns blend. Tons of color: base wool is mustardy yellow with shiny greens, blues, orange, yellow and other random peeks of color, the wrap is brown and green tones. Absolutely gorgeous.
I was given some as part of a mega-stash by an ex-knitter (yes, they exist! Scary!! don't tell the children!!!) and sold the three balls pictured in my eBay store, not at the time appreciating their value to this future blog effort. I'd have made something but I wanted the $$ more.
