An elegant blend of 90% fine super wash Merino wool and 10% mulberry silk, this yarn combines the softness of Merino with the natural sheen and strength of silk. The result is a lightweight, lustrous yarn that feels as good as it looks.
Each skein is completely unique—no two colors are alike—making them perfect for sweaters, colorwork, or textured projects that deserve something truly special.
This yarn also carries a piece of Maine’s textile history, spun at a now-closed mill whose craftsmanship lives on in every hank. It blooms softly as you knit and drapes beautifully in finished garments.

A quick note: We’ve done our very best to photograph these colors as true to life as possible, but every monitor displays them a bit differently. Each skein is hand dyed in small batches—color variation is part of the magic. Because of this, all sales are final.
