About this Colorway:

If you're an 80's or 90's kid, you know why this color would inspire such a name! A bright but earthy chartreuse, 'Slimer' is a lovely, bold color that, surprisingly, goes with a wide range of outfits and color combinations. 

Hand-Dyed Yarn | Available in two skein types:

Full Skeins:

100g Skeins | 400 yards | 365 meters

80% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon | 2 ply

This yarn base is mostly superwash merino, but includes nylon for durability. Such a blend is ideal for socks and other accessories that must stand up to heavy washing and wearing. While this base sounds tough, it doesn't lack in buttery softness and squish. 

Mini Skeins:

20 g Skeins | 87 yards | 80 meters

100% Fine Organic Merino (GOTS) | 1-ply

This yarn base is a test of a popular "singles" type fingering yarn. An eco-friendly yarn base, this yarn is Global Organic Textile Certified. Soft and natural, this yarn would make an excellent addition to mittens, shawls, and other fine accessories.
