Freia Fine Handpaint Yarns Shawl Ball

With nearly 400 metres you will find enough yarn to create a medium sized shawl that is light but warm. Use two and you will have a large warm shawl or wrap to see you through the chilliest of days. 

Freia Fine Handpaint Yarns' gradients transition smoothly keeping you engaged and enthralled as you work on your project! Their custom-spun single-ply merino is grown on small farms in the Rockies and milled in North Carolina. The yarn is hand-dyed at their studio in North Adams with acid dyes using processes that are gentle to the environment.

The yarn is untreated so it must be washed by hand or it will felt. Though a single you will find it strong as our dyeing process very gently felts the yarn making it durable enough to handle the manoeuvering of cables, lace and of course, tinking.
