TUULEN TYTÄR
Tuulen Tytär is our very first merino yarn ever. It has been crafters' favorite for years, and for a good reason. This soft and elastic fingering weight yarn holds shape for years, and is soft enough for even the most delicate skin types.
Tuulen Tytär is perfect for cable knits and structured stitch patterns. The relatively high twist in this 4-ply yarn enables all knit and purl stitches to stand out in the knitted fabric.
