Held Breath (Wooly Mammoth)

Held Breath is the quiet moment just before everything shifts — when the world feels still and the air hangs heavy. Soft, weathered blues move between deep navy and pale sky, blending like water and light at the edge of a thought you haven’t finished yet.

Dyed by hand in small batches, this yarn carries calm, depth, and restraint. It’s for slow stitches, steady hands, and projects that live in the spaces between movement and pause.

The Wooly Mammoth one pound skeins allow for bigger projects without having knots or extra ends to weave in, because...eww

SPECIFICATIONS

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

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.
