Elmer Fingering
Fingering, 200 yds / 50 g, 400 yds / 100 g
80% Merino, 20% Cashmere
Elmer is a woolen spun Merino/Cashmere blend. Like Elmer Tweed, it’s rustic with a beautiful texture and richness. It’s fantastic on its own and perfect for colorwork. It’s light, lofty, and holds its shape beautifully. All the hold and snap back of wool with a whisper of cashmere for softness and halo. This workhorse, I-can-do-anything yarn is a shop favorite. Elmer also knits spectacularly well at a sport weight.
