Mermaid – Handspun Wool Bamboo Silk Firestar Sport Yarn
Mermaid — Handspun Wool Bamboo Silk Firestar Sport Yarn
Dive in — Mermaid is a handspun sport weight yarn that shimmers, sparkles, and absolutely refuses to be ignored. A luxurious blend of wool, bamboo, silk, and Firestar, this 2-ply skein is next-to-skin soft with a glossy, multidimensional luster that catches every bit of light in the room. The Firestar takes it over the top — tiny trilobal fibers woven throughout that sparkle like sunlight through ocean water.
Bamboo and silk bring a fluid drape and cool, silky hand, while the wool adds warmth and structure. The result is a yarn that feels as magical as it looks — perfect for any project that deserves a little extra enchantment.
