Organic Merino Sport is an extra fine Certified Organic Merino wool yarn that supports sustainable farming practices while directly benefitting the small scale shepherds that raise this wool with reliable and fair income. This non-superwash yarn is available in over 20 inspiring colorways. In this entry I talk all about how this yarn was sustainably produced along with my ever growing list of project inspiration that I am eager to make with this yarn.

Illumination was named for the luminating shine the addition of silk gives to this single ply yarn. To say that is it stunning is an understatement. The speckles seem to just pop off the yarn in a dance of color unlike any other yarn. It calls to be caked up and created into something beautiful.

Working with this yarn has renewed my love affair with single-ply yarn especially silk blends. For now this small collection will be all that is available, but I am hopeful that you will fall in love with this yarn as much as I have so that I can perhaps make this a permanent member of the yarn shop.

In today’s journal entry we break down exactly how our superwash yarn is processed and how we ensure that our yarn is responsibly produced.
