Lilac Sock Yarn - Hand Dyed Merino Wool Blend
- Description
- Details
This variegated fingering weight yarn is a lovely mix of lavender, purple and pink that remind us of delicious-smelling Spring bouquets full of lilacs.
One hank will make a sweet pair of socks, and our minis would make perfect heels/toes. Or grab a couple of hanks and create a perfect summer tee or tank.

The extra-fine 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.
Created by us in our home state of Washington using professional commercial dyes that won't fade or bleed, because we steam-set them and then wash and rinse each one thoroughly.
Note: The fibers used in our yarn base are produced and processed in ways that do not harm the animals or the environment. We only use yarn made from shorn or naturally shed wool that is certified as mulesing-free.

Customer Reviews
This yarn came quicker than expected. I was quoted longer than it took to arrive. When received, it was even cooler than the photos online. It has a slight sheen and feels good to knit with. I will definitely order from global backyard again.
The yarn is nice quality but once I made my little dress for a baby, it looks like a car drove over it. I thought the black was going to be green. I will have to redo this project.
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!
