This beautiful yet sturdy yarn has lots of smooth softness. It is a wonderfully structural yarn with good stitch definition. It is a heavier yarn weight similar to worsted weight.
This hand-dyed yarn comes to us from Ireland. LITLG uses yarns from farms using ethical practices. They embrace slow living, care, and quality in everything they do and their gorgeous yarns reflect that in both quality and beauty.
** These are hand-dyed yarns and as such, there can sometimes be a significant difference between dye lots. If you notice 2 yarn names that are the same except for a -A or -B, it is to differentiate between the dye lots. (i.e. Thorn-A and Thorn-B). **
