GREEN TEA Organic Merino Semi Solid - 3 Sizes Available - Handpainted Certified Organic Merino Wool Yarn - by Pancake and Lulu

Description

GREEN TEA Organic Merino Semi-Solid - A luscious handpainted super soft yarn. Gorgeous green tea, sap green and dusty sage variations. This is one of my very favorite yarns--incredibly soft, cushy and lovely.

I have created a line of new hand painted mill-spun "semi-solids"! Perfect for stash-building, combining with variegated yarns, colorwork, or when you want a single color with a little kick! "Semi-Solids" appear solid from a distance but are made up of several shades--a more interesting yarn both to knit up and in the finished fabric.

ABOUT ORGANIC WOOL: Briefly, buying organic wool (not surprisingly) helps protect the environment: no synthetic pesticides are used on the sheep, their food must be certified organic, no synthetic hormones and genetic engineering, and they are not permitted to overgraze or overcrowd their fields.

Of course you save on shipping when you purchase multiple items at once.
