We just received a fresh batch of the Friea Merino/Silk Fingering! This yarn flew off the shelves this summer. This merino and silk blend is part of the “Refined” series of yarn, that is only available in select shops. The gorgeous hand-dyed ombre yarns truly shine with the sheen of the silk in the base. It’s also incredibly soft, perfect for luxurious accessories worn close to the skin.
