Moondrake Co. - Mermaid Hair

One colourway, two beautifully co-ordinating bases. The new Mermaid Hair from Moondrake Co. is truly lovely - use them held together for ultimate matchy-matchiness, or combine one with another base to add something special to your project.

** Please note - Moondrake Co. - Mermaid Hair comes in two bases: Merino HT Fingering and Mohair Lace

Merino HT Fingering

Two plies are twisted tightly together to produce a very soft and springy yarn. This yarn is slightly plump and nice and soft. The 2 plies make the yarn slightly bumpy which helps the strands of yarn hold together against each other making it great for colourwork and lace work.
