Parade is our original spring/summer yarn, created by amirisu especially for creating warm-weather-friendly projects and garments.

This fingering weight yarn is a mix of 60% wool, 20% cotton, 10% silk, and 10% linen, carefully blended to bring out the best of each fiber. The high wool content makes the yarn flexible and easy to use, while the cotton and linen ensure that the fabric is cool during warmer months. The final touch of silk adds a soft luster.

We focused on building a palette of colors that we would want to wear, ones in flattering tones that have a depth similar to that of natural dyes.
