Life in the Long Grass Sport Merino
100% superwash merino
Length: 300mWeight: 100g
LitLG Sport Merino is a sturdy, soft 100% merino wool base with a good twist to the yarn. It creates beautifully textural stitches and lovely fabric structure, ideal for garments, accessories and more.
Life in the Long Grass Sport Merino is the second base we've chosen from this wonderful Irish indie dyer.
This 100% superwash merino is a 5ply/sport weight yarn. It's a beautiful, sturdy, soft base with a good twist to the yarn. It creates beautifully textural stitches and lovely fabric structure, and is wonderful for garments as it falls in between DK/Worsted and sock weight yarns. It's also perfect for shawls and other accessories. It's quicker to knit up than sock weight yarns, but warm enough to wear all year round. Layer it up when the weather is really cold.

Please note: Life in the Long Grass yarns do not come in dye lots. They are dyed by hand in small batches. The beauty of hand-dyed yarns is that each hank is a unique work of art, so please be aware that there can be a variation in colouring, hue and saturation, even within the same dye batch. We suggest using two skeins and alternating rows to ensure there is no obvious line when you change skeins. Dark colours may bleed with the first few washes.
There are thousands of wonderful designs for sport weight yarn, find patterns on Ravelry.
