A Robin's Egg in a Pear Tree



















4-ply Baby Yarn
Pear Tree Yarns
100% merino wool
50 grams = 175 yards
Gauge: 6.25 stitches per inch on US 3 Needles
My Color: Robin's Egg
Retail Price: $10.00


What a nice surprise this was! Notice the little specks of color in the close-up. This yarn is incredibly soft and wonderful to work with. It would truly do well for baby projects, or anything you want to wear next to the skin. It was so soft that I was sure it had alpaca or angora in it. But, no, it is just 100% merino wool. And a fine wool it is, too. It comes in heavier weights for larger projects as well. I highly recommend it.
