As spring arrives and the gorgeous colors of nature bloom, we’re excited to announce that we just received a new batch of Freia perfect for warmer weather! Freia Merino Ombre Lace features the stunning hand-dyed gradient hues from Tina Whitmore. As with all her yarns, this yarn is made from a US-sourced Merino that is mulesing-free (mulesing is a painful and surgical procedure on sheep).
This two-ply lace weight will slowly change from one color to another over the length of the yarn cake. At a generous 712 yards, you can create a show-stopping shawl or lightweight accessory.
