Organic Marino Yarn

Merino Wool is a type of material that comes from the Merino Sheep and is renowned for its exceptional properties. Among these properties are its fantastic softness, shine and breathability. The fibres of Merino wool are softer, finer and more sensitive than many other fabrics.

Swans Island

Swans Island hand-dyes these collection of certified organic merino wool yarns in small lots using all-natural dyes and no harsh chemicals. Each dye lot is slightly different, yielding a rich depth of color that only Mother Nature can produce. Our unique process results in extremely soft, 3-ply worsted spun yarns with high luster and subtle tonalities in every skein. Available in fingering and worsted weights, these are the same yarns used in many of their fine handwoven blankets.
