1 skein of Wild Apple. When it's gone, it's gone.
A single 110 g skein of SKEIN's discontinued Slinky MCN base in *Wild Apple* — a tonal hand-dye in cool, mossy apple-green and chartreuse on an 80/10/10 merino-cashmere-nylon fingering. Slinky is no longer in the studio's lineup, so this colourway and base combination is effectively unrepeatable. Original SKEIN band intact.
This listing is for 1 skein of Skein Slinky MCN in color Wild Apple.
About the yarn:
SKEIN's Slinky MCN was the studio's plush 80% superwash merino / 10% cashmere / 10% nylon fingering — 365 yd / 334 m in a generous 110 g skein, plied for the soft drape MCN bases are known for with the nylon content keeping it hard-wearing enough for socks. Gauge sits at 7–8 sts/inch on US 2 (2.75 mm). *Wild Apple* is a tonal hand-dye in cool, mossy apple-greens shifting into chartreuse — a near-solid colour palette that reads as a single quiet shade at arm's length and resolves into a hand-painted gradient up close. Slinky is a discontinued base, so the colourway-on-base combination here is effectively unrepeatable; a replacement won't be coming back from the studio.

About Skein Slinky MCN:
SKEIN (skeinyarn.com) is the Australian indie dye studio founded by Kristen Finlay, working in small kettle batches out of New South Wales. The studio runs a small rotating lineup of merino, MCN, and BFL bases hand-dyed in tonal and gently-variegated colourways — Kristen's palette tends toward botanicals, fruit, and weathered-pigment colour stories rather than saturated speckle work. Slinky MCN was the studio's plush merino-cashmere-nylon fingering before it was retired, and finding a full-skein Slinky in original-twist condition is genuinely a back-catalogue pick at this point. *Wild Apple* is a tonal apple-green hand-dye from a small Slinky run; this skein is in original-twist condition with the SKEIN band still on.
