Hand-dyed by Big Little Yarn Co. in Hyogo, Japan, this is a beautiful and round 4-ply fingering weight yarn. It's spun with a super-soft organic merino and linen, for a gorgeous hand and soft drape. Lovely and gentle stitch definition and the fiber content makes this a great summer knitting yarn. The non-superwash fibers, with the linen content, makes the yarn take up dye gently like watercolors for a muted, softly variegated effect.Generous yardage, at 509 yards per skein, makes this a great option for garments using fingering weight summer knitting yarn.
