Inspired by the spiral grain growth patterns found naturally in trees, Spiral Grain Sport is a stunning, 3-ply yarn spun with 100% Superwash Extrafine Merino wool. An absolute pleasure to knit & crochet with, the yarn is spun to create gradual color changes. Each of the 3 colorful plies works beautifully with the other creating amazing depth of color. Enjoy knitting sweaters, cardigans, shawls or accessories such as hats, mitts or cowls. The yarn is also lovely paired with a solid or tonal for interesting stripes & color blocks. A tight twist delivers crisp stitch definition. Be inspired by the palette of nature-inspired colorways.
