Olhapim

Olhapim is a multicolored dream of a yarn! Made from 85% Merino Wool and 15% Nylon, garments will have the breathability from the Merino fibre (and the chainette construction), and addition shape and durability from the Nylon. The kaleidoscope of colorways will liven up your fall and winter projects effortlessly.  Olhapim has a chainette construction, meaning that the yarn is made of a mesh-like tube, and the fibres are then blown through the tube. The result is an airy, light yarn where it is easy to achieve variable gauges depending on needle size and tension.
