SPRITE is our rustic 3 ply sport-weight yarn in 60% merino and 40% corriedale wool.
Merino wool is known for its softness, shine and breathability. It ranges in different types, measured by microns which are used to determine the diameter of the wool fiber. The smaller the number, the finer the fiber. It is a durable and naturally insulating fiber.
Corriedale wool is a medium-fine fleece. The wool ranges from 25-30 microns in diameter. Corriedale has a well-defined crimp and a nice staple length. The softness and luster add a bounciness to the merino blend.

Care Instructions
Hand wash in cool water. Lay flat to dry.
Colors have depth and vibrance, dyed with professional acid dyes that typically won't bleed or fade. However, with the highly saturated colors, and especially Jewelweed, we recommend blocking in cold water with vinegar and also using a color catcher sheet. Please purchase enough yarn to complete your project.
We try hard to capture the essence of each colorway, but please keep in mind that colors may vary from monitor to monitor.
