This heavenly soft, fingering-weight yarn is a blend of merino, cashmere, and silk. The softness and warmth of the cashmere along with the drape and strength of the silk, make this a perfect yarn for luxurious lightweight garments, shawls, and accessories.
Add it to Julie Asselin's Anatolia (with its matching colors) to achieve that soft cozy look used by so many designers today.
Spun and hand-dyed in Canada, Julie Asselin's subtly variegated and nuanced jewel tones are a feast for the eyes.

This fingering weight yarn is pure heaven to knit with! 115g ball gives you lots of yardage. It creates a fabric that feels so soft, with a lovely drape, not limp. It has wonderful stitch definition for a fingering yarn and I would love to use it in a colorwork project. I have knit a small scarf and 2 garments with it so far and I have so many projects in mind for the gorgeous colors. Held with Anatolia the options are limitless. |
