As generous a yarn as we could dream up, Purl Soho’s Gentle Giant is for anyone with a soft spot for cozy and an eye for beauty! In over two dozen colors, its gorgeous palette ranges from gentle Silver Mauve to glowing Super Pink… So many beauties to choose from! Made in Peru and Oeko-Tex Certified, Gentle Giant is a loosely spun single ply of pure merino wool. The fiber from the merino sheep breed is wool at its best: soft but strong, light but warm, and with enough elasticity that your knits will hold their shape. The lofty spin of Gentle Giant makes full use of merino’s softness and also traps air to insulate you from the cold. It knits up at a great, big 1.5 stitches to the inch and is the perfect go-to yarn for quick-but-gorgeous knits: warm winter blankets, sumptuous hats and scarves, and high-drama cowls!
