Freckled Frog Yarns - Ollie

Meet Ollie from Freckled Frog Yarns, the yarn that politely refuses to be ordinary. Spun from 100% bourette silk, Ollie isn't your typical shiny, slippery silk. Bourette silk has a softly rustic texture with tiny flecks and slubs that give every stitch incredible character. Think "effortlessly elegant" instead of "trying too hard." With a whopping 612 yards per skein, Ollie is ready for lace shawls that float, lightweight summer tops, delicate wraps, and heirloom-worthy accessories that somehow look both sophisticated and wonderfully handmade. The fabric is breathable, lightweight, and surprisingly durable, making it perfect for warm-weather knitting and crochet. It blocks beautifully, drapes like a dream, and develops a wonderfully soft hand the more it's loved. Basically, if regular silk showed up to the gala in sequins, Ollie would stroll in wearing perfectly tailored linen, carrying an espresso, and somehow become the most interesting fiber in the room. A little rustic. A little refined. Entirely too pretty to spend the rest of its life as a skein. Materials: 100% Bourette Silk Weight: Fingering Yardage: 612 yards / 100g Needles: US 1-3
