Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light Yarn

I used this yarn to make a shawlette. It is very soft, and I don't find that it bothers my sensitive skin. It is spun as a single. I love the sheen it has and the depth of color. Wonderful to knit with!

I have worked on two projects with this yarn and I absolutely love it. It is a springy, single ply yarn with a nice, soft hand and luscious colors. One note: it is listed as a superwash, but I have noticed when I have would it up into balls that it can seem a bit felted to itself. I presume this is from the hand dyeing process. I tend to use it for shawls, so that doesn't bother me so much, but I would not use it for socks based on this--or, at least I would handwash socks made of this. Still, it is currently my favoroite fingering weight yarn to make shawls from. I definitely will keep coming back to this yarn!

I am absolutely obsessed with how this single ply yarn knits up. These pictures do not do many of the colors justice-like mare, plaid blanket, cousteau, and golden hickory to name a few. The colorways are completely addictive, but that's to be expected with Madelinetosh.
