Handspun Hope’s Organic Merino Wool DK, has a dense, slightly organic thick/thin strand that blooms slightly when washed. It works up beautifully into simple textures as well as stockinette. If you weave in your ends discreetly, I find the wrong side of the fabric is beautiful as well. I hope this pattern brings you joy in this season of hope!
