FINCH fingering- SW merino/nylon

Made from 75% superwash Merino wool and 25% recycled nylon, this yarn is designed for real-life wear. The Merino has been treated for easy care, so it’s machine washable and resists felting and shrinking. At 21 microns, it’s soft, smooth, and non-itchy, with a natural elasticity that makes it comfortable to wear. The addition of recycled nylon adds strength and durability, helping your finished pieces hold up beautifully over time.

About the recycled nylon
The nylon in this blend is made from recycled materials like fabric scraps and discarded fishing nets. It adds the durability you want for long-lasting knits, while helping cut down on waste and energy use. Same performance, just a little easier on the planet.

Purling Pigeon is our in-house hand-dyed yarn line, created by owner and artist Jasmine Clayton. We dye it, we knit with it, and we’re a little picky about what makes a good skein—so we stick to really beautiful bases and high-quality dyes that feel great to work with and hold up in real projects.

We work hard to keep our dye lots consistent and put a lot of care into every batch. That said, hand-dyed yarn can be a little unpredictable, and you might notice slight shifts in color from one batch to the next. It’s just part of the process—and part of what makes each skein feel special.
