Don't Feed the Trolls - Cotton Merino Classic DK Yarn

About the colourway: Sometimes, the internet isn't a very kind place. This colourway was inspired after our small business became the target of online abuse during one of the biggest moments in our journey. While a handful of people chose negativity, something far more powerful happened - our wonderful knitting and crochet community chose kindness, encouragement and support. Rather than dwell on the trolls, we decided to turn the experience into something beautiful and reach for the dye pots.

Don't Feed the Trolls combines black, silver grey and moss green together with bright green and flashes of vibrant pink - a reminder that creativity, kindness and hope can always shine through the darkness.

A minimum of £5 from every skein of Don't Feed the Trolls sold will be donated to Hadleigh Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub, helping to turn online negativity into positive support for people who need it most. There is no place in our community for keyboard warriors, opinion overload or those who love to hide under digital bridges. This colourway is dedicated to everyone who chose kindness instead.

Thank you for helping us prove that kindness will always be louder than cruelty.

About the yarn base: Our Cotton Merino Classic DK yarn is a beautifully balanced blend of 50% superwash merino wool and 50% Peruvian Pima cotton. It offers a soft, smooth feel with a subtle matt finish, combining the comfort of merino with the breathable, lightweight qualities of cotton.

Enjoy the best of both fibres – the merino adds gentle elasticity and softness, while the cotton brings strength, structure and a cool, airy feel. This makes it ideal for garments worn next to the skin, especially in warmer weather or transitional seasons.

Whether you're knitting garments, accessories or everyday pieces, Cotton Merino Classic DK is a pleasure to work with. This versatile DK yarn provides excellent stitch definition and a beautifully wearable finish across a wide range of projects.
