Select retail stores also offer a custom milled merino/silk blend in fingering, sport and worsted. This new yarn is a collaborative project between myself and Jeane deCoster of Elemental Affects. It is one of very few Merino/Silk blends that is truly made in the USA, in keeping with my goal to have a small footprint and source locally as much as feasible. Available in 3-ply worsted, sport and fingering weights, it is a beautiful, lofty, strong, lustrous and practically pill-free yarn! Lastly as part of our “Refined” range we offer a dreamy light-as-air alpaca/silk lace

REFINED WORSTED, SPORT AND FINGERING MERINO/SILK
A blend of 70% merino and 30% silk. This yarn is a smooth 3-ply with a luxurious soft hand. We specifically developed this custom yarn to be lofty without pilling. The silk adds just a hint of sheen. Available in worsted, sport and fingering weights. Made here in the USA from cruelty-free Merino. All current colorways available.

FLUX & Semi-Solid: 50g/1.76 oz balls -                                                        OMBRÉ: 75g/2.64 oz balls -
