Don't Feed the Trolls - Silky 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 Silky DK yarn is a beautifully luxurious blend of extrafine superwash merino and mulberry silk, combining softness, strength and elegant sheen in one stunning yarn base.

Extrafine merino is prized for its exceptional softness and smooth texture, while the addition of mulberry silk brings natural lustre, added strength and beautiful drape. The yarn is worsted spun from long staple fibres, producing smooth fabric with excellent stitch definition.

Silky DK absorbs dye beautifully, producing vibrant colourways that shimmer subtly in the light. The silk adds body to the yarn which helps stitches hold their shape, making it ideal for both textured and lace projects.
