Discover the rich artistry of hand-dyed gradients with Freia Fine Handpaint Yarns – Cochinilla Merino Fingering Shawl Ball. Each 100-gram ball features over 430 yards of single-ply, custom-spun Merino wool, transitioning seamlessly through color for a captivating stitching experience.
Made from 100% US-grown, mulesing-free Merino wool, this yarn is spun in North Carolina and hand-dyed at Freia’s North Adams studio using environmentally gentle acid dyes. The fibers are lightly felted during dyeing, enhancing strength while maintaining the softness and warmth that make Merino a favorite among knitters and crocheters. Perfect for shawls, wraps, and fine-gauge garments, this yarn’s smooth gradient ensures your finished piece looks as elegant as it feels.
The Cochinilla colorway blends deep pinks, coral tones, and soft mauves in a natural gradient inspired by cochineal dye — a celebration of rich, luminous color.
