Kelbourne Woolens Perennial Fingering Weight Superwash Wool Yarn

Perennial, from Kelbourne Woolens in Philadelphia, is a blend of vibrantly dyed superwash merino wool, soft Suri alpaca, and Oeko-Tex certified nylon. The superwash merino and suri alpaca create a soft and strong yarn that is a modern take on an easy-care superwash staple, and the nylon adds strength and durability. Perennial can be machine washed, but should be dried flat. It's just perfect for shawls, garments, socks, and fun baby and kid knits - anything your needles or hooks can imagine! Pair Perennial with your favorite hand-dyed yarn for a colorwork dream that can stretch a budget. You can knit it held single or double it to get a super squishy DK weight. There's a reason it's called Perennial - it's long lasting, and you'll keep returning to it again and again!
