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 blush/ecru base then glazed with a wash of brown then grey. Finally, they were speckled with golden brown and purple. The purple dye breaks a bit so there are violet and hot pink specks here and there. Note that these hanks are slightly variegated and each is different though they share the same colours. The pictures are of a different base but reasonable depict the colourway.
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.
