It will take a much stronger will than mine to resist the brilliant color combinations in this superwash merino worsted wool. These shades are just begging to be made into a scarf or hat. The variegated yellows, pinks, and blues against a background of black make this stunning yarn a great option for any project that needs a pop, especially if you’re looking for a way to keep some sunshine in your wintery days. Personally hand dyed by its creator, each batch is unique, which adds to the charm of this gorgeous yarn.
