  • Description
  • Reviews

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.

  • 5ply / sportweight
  • 100% superwash merino
  • 300m / 328yds per 100g skein
  • Needle size: 3.25mm-4.5mm
  • Care: Hand wash below 30oC, dry flat

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.

Deb is wearing Gr8 Gingham Raglan by Jessie Maed Designs, knitted in Fiddlesticks Peppin 8 colour 817 Teal and Life in the Long Grass Sport Merino: Ceramic. Read about how she modified the fit with short row ribbing at the neck on our blog.
