GALACTIC WHALE - The second color in our Whimsical Collection, which is a collection of yarn colorways inspired by unique, unexpected pairings... like a whale happily meandering along in outer space! I hope this collection reminds you to be your unique, FABULOUS self! No one else in this great, wide world is exactly like you, and that means you are so very important, irreplaceable, absolutely meaningful! No one else has your particular mix of talent and experience, and no one sees the world precisely like you do. And that's what makes you so very special! Don't ever doubt it! You have so much to contribute, and my hope for you is that you feel this with complete certainty each and every day

This SCRUMPTIOUS three-skein kit includes bold, saturated shades of blueberry indigo with hints of azure, muted grape, and light gray lavender with pops of cerulean and wheat. While supplies last, each kit comes with a very limited edition, custom-made 3-D enamel pin that features a galactic whale illustration created exclusively for Expression Fiber Arts. You won't find this pin anywhere else! Great for your sweaters, jackets, hats, project bags, shawls and more!

YARN - Superwash Merino Wool Silk Pearlescent Worsted - (50:50) Smooth with a gorgeous gleam

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. It has a lovely stretch and "memory" so it's a breeze to create hats, mittens, sweaters, socks, boot toppers, blankets and virtually anything else you'd need some elasticity and bounce for.

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!
•Worsted Weight: Ideal for next-to-skin accessories or sweaters, sweet baby items, blankets and so much more. Great for all skill levels, even beginners as it's a popular worsted weight thickness.
•Superwash Merino Wool - Mulberry Silk blend (50% of each) - hand-wash only for best results. Super soft like buttah, with a shine that just won't quit.
•Yardage: 201 m/ 220 yd per skein (660 yd per kit)
•Weight: Approximately 115 g / 4 oz per skein (12 oz per kit)

Note: Each skein is a hand-created, unique work of art and no two skeins will be identical, even within the same dye lot. If working with more than one skein in a project, it is best to alternate skeins every other row. Despite every effort to accurately depict our product colors, actual shades may vary due to differences in monitor settings.
