Today's Shop Update includes 24 colourways on our popular Merino Silk Yak Fingering base.
This yarn is a stunning summer weight yarn, which is slightly cool to the touch due to the silk content. It is perfect for light weight summer garments, shawls and other special accessories.
The yarn is luxuriously silky and drapey, with good twist and a stunning natural grey-brown base colour due to the yak content. Further information about the base can be found here.
Colourways appear rich and heathered when dyed on this base.

We are introducing Merino Possum Fingering to Louie & Lola this weekend. Why, you may ask? Well...that comes back to a few things - a desire to introduce more locally produced yarn bases, in particular, non superwash woollen spun yarns suitable for colourwork projects and also a love for possum!
Joji Locatelli's Winter Trails Cowl pattern has released today. We have put together some yarn combo ideas using our Merino Singles and Merino Nylon Sock base for this gorgeous cowl pattern and will be casting on ourselves.
