Yama Yarn - Merino Linen Singles

A gorgeous new collection has arrived! Yama Merino Linen Singles is a soft, single-ply fingering weight yarn with a charming rustic texture. It's ideal for creating hats, shawls, and sweaters. For a luxurious feel, pair it with a strand of silk & mohair, or use two strands together for colourwork and marling alongside worsted weight yarns. When working on larger items, alternating skeins is recommended. Note that each skein may vary from the photo. Weight : Fingering Fibre : 90% Superwash Merino 10% Linen South African Merino wool is mulesing free Texture : 1 ply Weight : 100 - 110gram Meterage/Yardage : 360m/394y per 100gram Care Instructions: This yarn can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but for best results we recommend hand washing in cool water with wool wash. Rinse, press in a towel, and lay flat to dry. With very dark or saturated yarns, a little colour may rub off on your hands or bleed when washed. This happens because not all the dye fully bonds to the fibres, even after careful rinsing. It’s harmless and usually stops after a few washes. If you’re mixing dark and light yarns in one project, we recommend pre-washing the darker skeins to avoid any colour transfer.
