Celebrate color and creativity with Freia Fine Handpaint Yarns – Dirty Hippie Merino Fingering Shawl Ball. Each 100-gram ball contains over 430 yards of single-ply, custom-spun Merino wool, dyed in Freia’s signature gradient for a smooth, mesmerizing transition between hues. Light, warm, and endlessly expressive, this yarn is a joy to stitch and a delight to wear.
Made from 100% US-grown, mulesing-free Merino wool, this yarn is spun in North Carolina and hand-dyed in Freia’s North Adams, Massachusetts studio using environmentally gentle acid dyes. The fibers are lightly felted during dyeing to enhance strength while preserving Merino’s soft, lofty texture. Perfect for shawls, wraps, and fine-gauge garments, it balances artistry, quality, and comfort.
The Dirty Hippie colorway is a vibrant celebration of color — swirling pinks, blues, greens, and golds combine in a free-spirited gradient that captures the essence of creativity and joy.
