All Yarn Bases

Yama Merino Linen Singles is a soft single ply, fingering weight yarn with rustic appeal. Popular for hats, shawls and sweaters. Hold together with a strand of KidSilk for a luxuriously soft fabric or hold double for colourwork and marling projects in combination with Merino Linen Worsted.

Dye batches vary, please make sure to purchase enough yarn to complete your project. There are also variation within batches, please remember to alternate skeins when working on larger pieces of fabric. Variegated skeins take more effort to produce and are charged for a little extra. The skeins you receive may not be the identical skeins form the photograph.

Weight : Fingering
Composition : 90% Superwash Merino 10% Linen
South African Merino wool is mulesing free
Texture : 1 ply
Skein Weight : 100 - 110gram
Meterage/Yardage : 360m/394y per 100gram

Care Instructions: Garments can be machine washed on a gentle cycle however I recommend hand washing in cool water. Soak in a wool wash and rinse in clean water with a drop of essential oil. Roll in a towel to get the water out and dry flat.

Note that the darker saturated colourways can give off some residual dye on the hands while knitting, this is called “crocking”, read about it on the “Care Instructions” page under Info in the main menu.

The Neon POP kit consist of 6 x 100gram skeins of Yama Merino Linen Worsted in bright neon-like colours ~ hot orange, lime green, deep lavender, hot pink, bright turquoise and neon yellow. I used a bit of each colour in my Ilya test knit colourwork and it looks beautiful against the brown main colours Chocolate Bark & Faded Khaki (these colourways are available as individual skeins on the website). The kit will set you up for fun colourwork across a few projects if used sparingly with earth toned neutrals.

Yama Merino Linen Worsted is the even cosier version of my Merino Linen Singles. The soft ply and linen fibres give this yarn a rustic, almost handspun character. Next to skin soft and suitable for projects such as sweaters, shawls and hats. Great stitch definition for stranded colourwork projects. TIP! Hold Yama Merino Linen Singles double for creating a marled or fading colourwork yoke, with one strand of Worsted for the main body of a sweater!
