It’s no secret the we love the gorgeous tonal colors from the Periwinkle Sheep here in space. So we’re incredibly excited to be able to share them with you on a brand new worsted-weight yarn base! Karin has sent us a full spectrum of solids and a few fun complementary speckles. This 100% superwash Merino yarn is also 100% made in the USA. This yarn is sourced and spun right here in the US before being dyed by Karin in Albany, NY. The yarn is round and springy, and also quite soft. We’re dreaming of cozy accessories with tons of texture and stunning sweaters.

Karin sent us an amazing line-up of 30 colors, including our custom fibre space colorway!
