Freckled Frog Yarns - Eco DK

Some yarns are fancy. Eco DK is the yarn equivalent of someone who owns real hiking boots, drinks good coffee, and somehow looks fantastic without appearing to have tried. Freckled Frog Eco DK is a beautifully natural blend of 80% ultra-fine 18.5-micron non-superwash merino wool and 20% linen. The merino brings the softness and warmth, while the linen adds a little texture, strength, and breathability. Basically, wool met linen, they got along beautifully, and now we all have another yarn problem. Because it’s non-superwash, Eco DK keeps more of that wonderful natural wool character. It has a slightly rustic personality without actually feeling rustic, thanks to that exceptionally fine merino. And the linen means your finished fabric gets even better with wear. With 232 yards per 100g skein, Eco DK is perfect for sweaters, cardigans, hats, scarves, and those everyday pieces you want to actually wear, rather than admire carefully from across the room. It’s natural. It’s handsome. It’s practical. And no, you cannot throw it in the washing machine. Eco DK has boundaries.
