YARN - Superwash Merino Wool Silk Pearlescent Fingering - (50:50) Smooth with a gorgeous gleam - A fingering weight version of our popular Pearlescent Worsted Weight!
Sure to be a favorite and loaded with yardage!
MERINO WOOL is ultra soft, creamy to the touch, cloud-like and breathes so you stay comfortable and cozy. We had these spun with a very fine merino wool so it's incredibly soft and wonderful for next-to-skin accessories and garments.
MULBERRY SILK is a dream... it glows and gleams and takes the dye so well, that the colors just pop like crazy. It also contributes to the lovely softness.
~When you combine these two fibers into a single ply yarn like this, you get subtle differences in tone as the wool and silk take the dye slightly differently. The colors truly appear to be iridescent and other-worldly.
•1-ply : For ultra shimmer and glow!

Gorgeous beyond words!
I love this yarn so much I bought two. I have to find just the right garment to make. Still searching.
Soooo soft
I love this yarn! I haven't made the project yet, but it is soooo soft and I just love the color!
FIRST TIME ORDER
I tried to resist this beauty, but couldn't! At first glance, my skein appears to be much darker in tone than that shown here, with more plum, but all of the gorgeous colors are there. The yarn is soft with a beautiful sheen, and I can't wait to see how all those colors work up, once I find a pattern to do it justice.

Stunner

A Vision of Impressionism
This yarn is absolutely gorgeous. It reminds me of one of Monet's Water Lilies paintings. I can hardly wait to see how it knits up. The feel of the yarn is luscious and looks like it will yield beautiful stitch definition. I bought enough skeins to do a shawl, which I think will look stunning.
Light and airy and so soft!
I picked this up because I am a sucker for anything Monet, and anything that reminds me of my time in his gardens in Giverny sounds great to me. I've started a cowel/nursing cover and I just want to pet the yarn as I'm working with it. The colors are gorgeous and I can't wait to be able to wear it!
Oh So Beautiful!!!
The pictures could never show the true beauty of this yarn!!! I just want to hold it and "pet" it all day. LOL!! And the bonus is it also is helping children with their education too!!! I just had to purchase this (2 skeins) but have yet to find a pattern worthly of its loveliness!!! Thank you so much!!!
Wonderful Yarn and Helping Others
When I saw the opportunity to not only order beautiful yarn but also help others by doing so, I could not resist. The yarn is of course, even more beautiful in real life, but the softness and hand of the yarn adds to my satisfaction.
I just want to hold it!
This is beautiful yarn. Haven't decided what to make with it yet. Until then I will take it out and look at the beautiful colors and the luxurious sheen.
Beautiful
This yarn is beautiful and luxurious. The colors are even more wonderful in person than in the pictures. I can't wait to find a project worthy of this yarn.
