Using two skeins creates a generously sized wrap that's perfect for keeping warm on even the chilliest days. The beautifully designed gradients flow smoothly from one shade to the next, making every row engaging and enjoyable to knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Yarn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis custom-spun single-ply merino comes from small farms in the Rocky Mountains and is milled in North Carolina before being hand-dyed in the North Adams studio. Gentle, environmentally mindful acid-dye processes bring the colours to life. The yarn is untreated and should be hand washed to avoid felting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it's a single ply, the dyeing process slightly \u003cem\u003efulls the fibre\u003c\/em\u003e — meaning the wool fibres gently bloom and lightly bind together. This adds strength and durability without sacrificing softness, allowing the yarn to handle cables, lace, and even a bit of tinking with ease. For the neatest joins between skeins, wet-splicing creates a smooth, invisible, and reliable connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a mulesing-free merino, grown and spun in the United States to very particular specifications. The loftiness of this Merino Fingering is particularly versatile, lending itself to be stitched up in a variety of gauges without losing definition or drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYarn Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFibre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single ply 100% US Merino Wool (mulesing-free)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fingering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBall Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100g \/ 3.53 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYardage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 393 metres \/ 430 yards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24–28 sts \/ 28–36 rows over 4″ on US3 (3.25mm) – US7 (4.5mm) needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grown \u0026amp; spun in the USA; hand-dyed in North Adams, MA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freia Shawl Balls are wound in different directions.
