Dive into the vibrant, captivating flow of Caribbean Fade, where every strand tells a story of the ocean's mystical allure. The journey begins in the profound, rich tones of a deep teal current, gradually emerging through a cascade of brilliant, saturated turquoise. As the color lightens, it mimics the gentle, sun-kissed shallows of a tropical lagoon, bringing a serene, aquatic beauty to life. This hand-dyed treasure promises a beautiful finish, allowing the mesmerizing shift in color to take center stage in your creation.

SPECIFICATIONS

  • 80% Superwash Merino wool and 20% Nylon
  • Approximately 1,900 yards, 1 full pound! 
  • Fingering Weight

Sweater skeins are HUGE, 1lb skeins allowing you continuous color with no knits or extra loose ends to weave in…because who wants that?!

This versatile 80/20 blend is the "gold standard" of fingering weight yarns, balancing the warmth and breathability of wool with the durability of nylon.
What can I make with this yarn?
  • Durable Hand-Knit Socks: The 20% nylon content provides the necessary strength to prevent holes in the heels and toes, while the superwash wool ensures they stay soft and comfortable.
  • Intricate Shawls & Wraps: With excellent stitch definition, this yarn is perfect for showing off complex lace patterns or delicate cables. It drapes beautifully after blocking.
  • Lightweight Garments: Create breathable sweaters, cardigans, or camisoles that are perfect for layering. The fingering weight ensures your finished piece isn't too bulky.
  • Baby & Children’s Wear: Because it is superwash (machine washable!), it is a practical choice for baby blankets, sweaters, and hats that need frequent cleaning.
  • Accessories: This yarn is ideal for lightweight mittens, beanies, or elegant cowls that feel soft against the skin without being itchy.
Care Tip: While the superwash treatment allows for machine washing on a gentle cycle, we recommend laying your items flat to dry to preserve the vibrant color and shape for years to come.
