FIRED UP
FIRED UP is a part of a series of 12 stripe sport themed colourways. This colourway has 4 colours the 6 stripes alternate black and yellow, the other 6 alternate between red and white.. You will also receive a co-ordinating mini-skein for your toes/heels/cuffs in the red. Each stripe is approximately 4 rows depending on gauge on a 64 st. sock.
When I first dyed this colourway I posed a name suggestion post to Instagram and many responded that it reminded them of the Maryland state flag, racing, fire and rescue, deck of cards, camp fires amongst other things. I thought the name FIRED UP would relate to many of these suggestions.

I highly recommend hand washing your knit items in cool or lukewarm water using a pH-neutral wool wash to keep them looking amazing for as long as possible.
I use colorfast acid dyes for dyeing my yarn and rinse until water runs clear. However, there is a chance some dye may bleed slightly in the first couple of washes of your finished item. Because of this, I do recommend that you wash your items separately, especially for the first couple of washes. If you have them available it is always a good idea to use a "colour catcher", similar to dryer sheets and often found in the laundry section. Some dyes are more prone to bleeding than others such as highly saturated (e.g. reds, pinks) or speckled skeins, this happens to hand-dyed wool just as commercially dyed wool.
Please be advised washing in hot water is not recommended as it may break the bond between the fibre and the dye and could cause bleeding.
