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

Wrap yourself in the warmth of fall color with Freia Fine Handpaint Yarns – Maple Merino Fingering Shawl Ball. Each 100-gram ball features over 430 yards of single-ply, custom-spun Merino wool, dyed in Freia’s signature gradient for a smooth, captivating color transition that keeps your project engaging from the first stitch to the last.

Crafted 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 eco-friendly acid dyes. The dyeing process gently felts the fibers, giving them extra strength while preserving Merino’s softness and warmth. Perfect for shawls, wraps, and fine-gauge garments, one ball creates a medium-sized shawl; use two for a luxuriously large wrap.

The Maple colorway blends golden amber, russet, and deep copper tones inspired by autumn leaves — ideal for projects that capture the cozy spirit of the season.
