Inspired by the subtle shades of the Orion Nebula, this bulky weight yarn knits up quickly into light, ethereal hats, cowls, mittens & garments. Soft & lofty, Orion is light wearing a cozy cloud. The unique yarn consists of extrafine Merino wool fiber blown into a nylon tube. This technique gives the yarn a gorgeous halo & glow. As you knit, the colors blend into each other as they gently transition from hue to beautiful hue. The generous 295 yard ball means there are fewer ends to weave in!
