Soft and with a wonderful drape, this 100% Superwash Merino Wool yarn is perfect for blankets and warm shawls. This is a great general purpose yarn.

This beautiful variegated color contains shades of red, blue, yellow and green; it is a color experiment by The Fiberists and is available in limited quantities. Colors may vary from what they appear on your screen, dark tones may appear darker and blacker on your screen. Every effort has been made to ensure colorfastness.

Finished items created from this yarn are recommended hand wash only. While this yarn is 100% Superwash Merino and can tolerate some agitation while wet, The Fiberists recommend all projects be hand washed to ensure longevity.
