Perennial is a quirky blend of vibrantly dyed superwash merino wool, super silky and soft Suri alpaca, and just a touch of nylon for added strength and durability. The blend creates a soft and strong yarn that is a modern take on an easy-care superwash staple. Perennial can be machine washed, but should be dried flat. It's perfect for shawls, garments, socks, and fun baby and kid knits - anything your needles or hooks can imagine! Pair Perennial with your favorite hand-dyed yarn for a colorwork dream that can stretch a budget. You can knit it held single or double it to get a super squishy DK weight. There's a reason we call it Perennial - it's long lasting, and you'll keep returning to it again and again!
