Freia Fine Handpaints Shawl Ball

This custom-spun single-ply merino is grown on small farms in the Rockies and milled in North Carolina. The yarn is hand-dyed with acid dyes using processes that are gentle to the environment. The yarn is untreated so it must be washed by hand or it will felt. Though you will find it strong as the dyeing process very gently felts the yarn making it durable enough to handle the maneuvering of cables, lace and of course, tinking. When attaching one ball to the next, wet-splicing will give you a smooth, invisible and reliable join.
