MERIBELLA 70/30 Fingering Singles: Approximately 100g/438 yards 70/30 superwash Merino wool/silk. This is a luxurious singles light fingering yarn.
These were kettle-dyed a tonal plum purple then washed with brown, then grey and finished with a mustard/gold glaze. The silk in this base likes colour and strikes fast, the colours are a little more mottled and variegated rather than blended on this base, with an almost watercolour effect.
This is a sleek, soft, light fingering singles with a fairly tight twist. This yarn is quite fine and won’t plump much more with blocking. It will make a lovely shawl, scarf or swingy cardi, but it would be good for just about anything fine-gauged, worn next to the skin. It has lovely drape, is silky soft and shiny. Over time it will develop a very slight halo.
While this is superwash treated, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
