Nearly Nude (Wooly Mammoth)

Soft as a whisper and barely there, Nearly Nude drifts between warm cream and the faintest blush of taupe, like sunlight resting on bare skin. It’s quiet, effortless—never demanding attention, but impossible to ignore once you notice its depth.

Hand-dyed in small batches, each skein carries subtle shifts and natural variation, making it the perfect understated neutral—simple, but never plain.

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.
