Al Swearengen
House Wren base: 85% superwash merino / 15% nylon tweed
Fingering weight, 100g, 438 yards/400 m

Al Swearengen is part of our collection inspired by the television show Deadwood. Al Swearengen is one of the villains in the Deadwood series, but he's a fascinating anti-hero, with a quick wit and a sailor's vocabulary. One quote that we knitters might enjoy is, "If I bleat when I speak it's because I just got ****in' fleeced." The Al Swearengen colorway blends chocolate brown with deep burgundy, all speckled with black, for a colorway that's as multidimensional as the character himself.

Our House Wren base is a plump 2-ply, both soft and hard-wearing. This would be perfect for accessories, and it is comfortable to wear next to your skin.

As this is a hand-dyed yarn, there are no dye-lots and skeins may vary slightly. Alternating skeins is recommended. While this yarn base is superwash and will not felt if it accidentally finds its way into the washing machine, hand-washing your hand-knits and laying them flat to dry will ensure you can enjoy them for a long time to come.
