Calligraphy is a fun, 2-ply fingering yarn made from extra-fine superwash merino wool. One of the plies transitions to black at various intervals, resulting in a self-striping pattern that is ideal for otherwise simple textures like stockinette or garter stitch. Use one or two strands at a time for cozy headbands, cowls and cardigans.
These skeins are hand-dyed in the colorway Glacier, a beautiful, semi-solid icy blue perfect for bright winter knits.

More Information
Dyed in knot-free hank form (big loops of yarn). Wind it into a ball to start knitting/crocheting/weaving.
The merino wool is labeled as “Virgin Wool” or “New Wool”, as decreed by the EU-regulations for the labeling of non-recycled “new” sheep’s wool.
Each hand-dyed skein is different. Skeins of a batch are the most similar, so try to get enough for your project or pre-order the amount you need.
Depending on monitor settings colors may be displayed differently.

Merino Sheep's Wool
Wool is a natural protein fiber that is sheared from sheep of over 200 different breeds worldwide. It is naturally crimped with a lofty hand and has been used for its warmth for 10,000 years. Merino sheep, with their particularly fine and light-colored coat, were introduced to Australia in 1797, where the best Merinos are still bred today.
Warm
Absorbs moisture better than cotton and is a master at retaining air and warmth.
Shapely
Holds the shape of garments very well and is wrinkle-resistant, for elegant structured fabrics.
Mulesing Free
Obtained from sheep that are protected from pests by means other than mulesing.
