Fall Forest DK is dyed in bands of color, including greens, yellows, and browns, which flow into one another along the length of the skein. The mix reminds us of stormy weather walks on Pacific Northwest trails, when the evergreen plants mix in with the falling leaves.
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, scarves, 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.
