Perennial is a quirky blend of vibrantly dyed superwash merino wool, super silky and soft Suri alpaca, and just a touch of nylon for added strength and durability. The superwash merino and suri alpaca create a soft and strong yarn that is a modern take on an easy-care staple yarn. Perennial can be machine washed, but should be dried flat. It’s just perfect for shawls, garments, socks, and fun baby and kid knits – anything your needles and hooks can imagine!
Pair Perennial with your favorite hand-dyed yarn for a colorwork dream that can stretch a budget. You can knit it held single or double it to get a super squishy DK weight.

Hand washing is recommended. Wash in cool water with wool specific soap and dry flat.
For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
