Tosh Merino Light Fingering Yarn by Madelinetosh

Tosh Merino Light: Silky Fingering-Weight Merino for Socks & Shawls

Tosh Merino Light is Madelinetosh's beloved fingering-weight yarn, spun from 100% superwash merino wool into a soft, single-ply strand that glides through your fingers as easily as it glides off the needles. Each generous 420-yard skein is hand-dyed in small batches in Texas, so the colors are rich, tonal, and never quite like anyone else's project. It's a favorite for knitters and crocheters who want a sock yarn with drape, a shawl yarn with sheen, and a yarn that feels like a small luxury every time you pick it up.

• 100% Superwash Merino wool, single-ply construction
• 420 yards / 384 meters per skein — enough for a full pair of socks or a generous shawl
• Fingering weight: 26–30 sts = 4in (US 1–2 / 2.25–2.75mm) for knitting; 21–32 sts = 4in (US B1–E4 / 2.25–3.5mm) for crochet
• Machine wash cold on gentle cycle, air dry flat
• Hand-dyed in Texas from wool ethically sourced in South Africa

Note: the color Aurora Australis is shown in the Tosh Sock base.
