Back to 4 Ply / Fingering Weight Yarns

Beautiful, Rich, and Soft

This is the most lightweight fingering yarn I have ever used, then it magically works up a little fluffy with a soft halo. I paired the Loch Ness with Raveler Very Busy Monkey's Hyacinthoides Socks for a dynamic result. These have to be one of my favorite pairs of socks yet. The yarn lends itself to the line art of the pattern perfectly for great stitch definition.

Inasmuch as this yarn is probably my new favorite, the dye stained my fingers while knitting, which has never happened to me before with dyed wool yarn. I hope that now with blocking it will remain colorfast and not stain the skin with wear.

Rare blend or fibers

Hi I'm so happy to find this exceptional blend of rare wool fibers!!!
This is the sort of yarn that only the most experienced spinners spin for themselves and family.
The person who designed this yarn knows from the elders just how to spin the very best this planet can offer.
Softness, warmth and durability.
No need for synthetics to make this yarn last decades.
This is true eco conscious heirloom yarns that will be treasured in tomorrows museum's.
The spin is just right too.
Absolutely love this yarn.💕
