Journey to the edge of the world and back with "Ocean Depths", as each strand captures the essence of the boundless, beautiful deep. The colorway plunges into the profound, inky blues and deep teals of the open ocean, where secrets sleep and light barely touches the water. Gradually, it rises through the depths, transitioning into a cascade of vibrant, sun-dappled blues and aquas, bringing the mesmerizing shift of a powerful current to life. This hand-dyed treasure promises a beautiful, fluid finish, inviting the rhythm of the waves into every creation.
SPECIFICATIONS
- 80% Superwash Merino wool and 20% Nylon
- Approximately 1,900 yards, 1 full pound (453 grams)
- Fingering Weight
Sweater skeins are HUGE, 1lb skeins allowing you continuous color with no knots 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.
