Yarn details:

•    220 yards/100 grams.
•    Worsted weight.
•    Same yarn base as Swish, high grade (20.5 microns), machine washable merino wool.
•    Super squishy and soft enough to be worn directly against the skin.
•    Available in 7 different shades. Each one is hand painted to create even and consistent distribution of colors that subtly transition from one to the other, giving the lovely color effect of kettle-dyed yarns but with more reliable results.



We love
the way the color transitions fall within the same color family and the finished effect they produce, which are similar to an impressionist painting. – When seen up close, you see the varying shades of color, yet when seen further away, you see one cohesive color. The result is a beautiful fabric that is subtle enough to highlight complex cables and lace without distracting from, or competing with, your stitch pattern.  Wonderful versatility, fantastic colors, and easy care (machine washable) make this yarn particularly ideal for children or baby items.
