This lofty 4-ply fingering yarn is a favourite of ours! Super soft with just enough nylon to make it perfect for socks but it’s equally perfect for lightweight sweaters and shawls. It takes dye beautifully resulting in vivid results.

Although this yarn is superwash and can be machine-washed on delicate, we recommend hand-washing in COLD water. Soak with your favourite wool wash and lay flat to dry. We take care to rinse our yarn until the water runs clear, however you may experience bleeding with the first couple of washes. This is normal and will resolve itself.
