An incredibly beautiful and special yarn, Baby Camel + Merino glows with depth and nuance that come straight from two of nature's softest fibers. We loved this yarn, but ultimately decided not to add it to our collection... If it's calling to you, pick it up for a great price! This sample yarn is 40% off while supplies last, so please be sure to get enough yarn for your entire project.

About This Yarn

• Incredibly soft to the touch, wonderfully warm, and light as air, baby camel fiber makes up 50% of this very lovely yarn. Depigmented so that the dye is true to its color, this yarn absolutely glows!
• The other 50% of this blend is extra fine merino wool, the softest, finest grade of merino wool there is. Merino adds a bit of bounce and durability to the yarn.
• This lofty DK-weight yarn has a buoyant 2-ply spin that blooms satisfyingly when you block your finished piece. It's a wonderful choice for classic sweaters, heirloom scarves, and all-time favorite hats!
