madelinetosh took the world by storm when they came out with tosh merino light. This set of colors - beautiful handpaint speckles and multi's, are a softly drapey single ply fingering weight handpainted yarn. This is a gorgeous, single ply hand dye/hand paint. It is overglazed to create tones and depth of hue that are just amazing. Tosh Light will help you create exquisite shawls, lovely lightweight sweaters - any project that calls for a fingering weight yarn. Knitting Patterns pop and you'll want to wear what you knit forever. Buy enough, these are handmade in small batches. For larger projects, order a matched lot - tosh light takes 12 -16 weeks to arrive, but it's worth the wait!
