The sample shown is crafted in Louie & Lola, Merino Singles (fingering weight, 100% superwash merino, 400 yards/366 meters per 100 grams), featuring the main colour (MC): Crema, and contrast colour (CC): Russet. These yarns not only provide a beautiful drape but also add exquisite texture to your finished project.
