Freia Fine Handpaint Yarns – Oyster Merino Fingering Shawl Ball | 100% US Merino Wool, 430 Yards

Immerse yourself in elegant, hand-dyed gradients with Freia Fine Handpaint Yarns – Oyster Merino Fingering Shawl Ball. Each 100-gram ball delivers over 430 yards of ultra-soft, single-ply merino wool with smooth, gradual color transitions that make every stitch an experience.

Made from 100% US-grown, mulesing-free Merino wool, this yarn is custom spun in North Carolina and hand-dyed at Freia’s studio in North Adams using environmentally gentle acid dyes. The fibers are lightly felted during dyeing, strengthening the yarn while preserving its signature softness and sheen. Perfect for shawls, wraps, and lightweight sweaters, one ball creates a medium-sized shawl; use two for a large, cozy wrap.

The Oyster colorway features refined neutral tones that shift effortlessly across shades of cream, gray, and sand — perfect for projects that call for understated sophistication.
