We are always striving to find the silver lining in everything, and this collection of fingering weight yarn pays homage to that philosophy. Made up of three lightly variegated silver grays -- each one reminds us that stormy days always pass. This trio includes one twisted hank of Cloud Cover (the lightest shade), Incoming Rain (the medium silver), and Thunderclap (serious storm imminent!) -- for over 1,300 yards of yarn. 

The extrafine merino wool (19.5 microns) is especially cushy and feels great on sensitive skin. It's blended with a bit of nylon for extra durability -- perfect for long-wearing projects like gloves and socks. Together, they would make for a beautiful shawl fade project. Two sets would create an amazing, neutral sweater.

Dyed by us in our home state of Washington using professional commercial dyes that won't fade or bleed.

Chunky Love

This is my first time to use Global Backyard’s bulky yarn and I love it. The 100% Superwash Merino Wool is so soft and has a beautiful natural sheen. At first I thought the yarn would be slippery, like silk yarns; but to my delight it was not slippery and just so easy to work with. I will definitely continue to support Global Backyard. P.S. I have also used their sock yarn base and that is also a dream to use. You will not be disappointed. I look forward to my future yarn selections and projects with both yarn bases. Thank you Global Backyard!

Gorgeous color

I will be pairing this skein with other skeins for a Stephen West shawl this spring. The base is wonderful and I will enjoy knitting with it again..
