Discover our fingering dyeable fiber, an exquisite blend of 50% ultra-fine 19.5-micron merino wool and 50% lotus fibers. This unique combination offers a luxurious and incomparable knitting experience, perfect for your most refined creative projects.

Features and Benefits:

• Unmatched Softness: Thanks to the 19.5-micron merino wool, this fiber is incredibly soft and gentle on the skin. It’s ideal for garments worn directly on the skin, such as scarves, shawls, and sweaters.
• Strength and Durability: Lotus fibers add natural strength, making the fiber more resistant to friction and wear. Enjoy your creations for many years to come.
• Thermoregulatory Properties: Merino wool is known for its ability to regulate body temperature, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.
• Lightweight and Flexible: The merino-lotus blend offers a lightweight and airy texture while maintaining great elasticity and flexibility. Perfect for projects requiring an elegant drape.
• Dyeing: Merino wool absorbs dye evenly and vibrantly. Lotus fiber, on the other hand, absorbs dye less effectively and will yield more pastel colors. Unleash your creativity with natural or synthetic dyes to achieve unique shades.
• Hypoallergenic: Lotus fibers are naturally hypoallergenic, making this fiber ideal for sensitive skin.

Recommended Uses:

• Fashion Accessories: Scarves, hats and gloves.
• Garments: Lightweight sweaters, cardigans, and delicate shawls.
• Artistic Knitting Projects: Create knitted artworks with sophisticated patterns and textures.

Care Instructions:

• Hand Wash: To maintain the quality and softness of the fiber, hand wash your creations with a mild detergent like our Eucalan soap.
• Dry Flat: Avoid hanging to prevent stretching. Dry flat in a well-ventilated area.
