Bright, wild, and impossible to overlook, Parrot Feather bursts with vibrant color — fiery orange melting into lush emerald and deep teal blues. Like the flash of tropical wings cutting through warm jungle air, each shift of color feels alive with energy and movement.

Hand dyed in small batches, every skein carries its own vivid dance of color, blending warmth and depth into a bold, untamed palette that turns every stitch into something unforgettable.

 

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.
