Superfine Merino Fingering · Maelstrom
A whirlpool doesn’t announce itself. One moment the water is moving; the next, you are inside it. Dark, cold, turning. The particular blue-green of water that has no intention of letting go.
Maelstrom is that colour. On some bases it reads with depth and turbulence, darker blues moving within the teal. On others, the same colour sits clear and even at the surface. The same water. Different depths.
On Superfine Merino Fingering, the clean neutral base lets Maelstrom show its full character. The dye breaks into deeper and lighter blues within the teal, the colour shifting and alive. It reads vivid and present, with the characteristic bounce and loft of the 17-micron merino giving it energy and presence.
Superfine Merino Fingering is 100% superwash 17-micron merino, spun to a fingering weight. At 17 microns this is one of the finest merino grades available, soft against the skin with a characteristic bounce and loft that gives the skein a natural fullness. The neutral base allows colour to read at full saturation. A reliable, versatile yarn that rewards both the new knitter and the experienced one.
Dyed in small batches in Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, using acid dyes on protein fibre. Each skein is individually hand-dyed. Tonal variation between skeins is natural and part of what makes each piece unique.

Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches, so subtle variations in colour and saturation are part of the character of these yarns. For larger projects, we recommend purchasing skeins from the same dye lot where possible, noted on the label, or alternating between lots as you work for the most even result.
