OLIVER
Single-Ply Fingering Weight
75/15/10 Superwash Merino/Cashmere/Silk
440 yards (402 meters), 115 grams
Hand wash, dry flat
Named after the incredible poet Mary Oliver, this base is a heavenly, super-soft, single-ply yarn with lovely sheen and drape. It is a delicate yarn suitable for shawls and lightweight garments, what I call an “imperfectly perfect” yarn because it has a slightly low twist and a bit of thick-and-thin going on.
Dye personality: Oliver is one of my top favorite yarns to dye and knit with. It gives a depth and luster to each color that's hard to beat! Darker colorways often appear lighter on this blend because of the single-ply construction.
