A bold beautiful yarn lovingly hand-dyed in an array of shades from classic greys to candy colours. The subtleties and sheen of this tactile yarn really make stitches stand out, meaning it is ideal for detailed knitting and stocking stitch alike.
With a lush blend of 90% superwash merino and 10% silk, this yarn can be machine-washed, although hand-washing is recommended.

Customer Reviews
Lovely shop with premium yarn and helpful staff. Purchased Julie Asselin Leizu, I've used this yarn before and it is beautiful to work with. Also bought buttons as such a lovely choice of unusual ones.Only tiny quibble was a couple of yarns I wanted had limited stock but appreciate it's hard and expensive to maintain large amounts of all colours.
Lovely yarn in a good range of colours, and speedy delivery
I’m still waiting for the color I’ve requested you to notify me when back in stock
I am loving knitting with Leizu DK, it is soft and has a great sheen. I’m working on a Norwegian-style cardigan and the subtle colour variation really suits stranded colourwork - although the steeks will need machine reinforcement. Such a shame the additional colour I’m about to run out of is not in stock… I hope more colours arrive very soon!
Really pleased with the colours and feel of the yarn - I haven’t started my project yet and am looking forward to starting over the Christmas break.
