Eclipse Twist is a striking, high-contrast 2-ply yarn designed to bring dramatic graphic texture to your hand-knitted and crocheted projects. Spun from 100% Superwash Merino Wool, this high-utility fingering-weight yarn beautifully interlocks a deep charcoal black ply with a crisp alabaster white ply. The result mimics the shifting shadows of a solar eclipse, adding automatic, effortless visual depth directly to your stitches.

Fiber & Technical Specifications

Performance & Stitch Behavior

Because this yarn is tightly spun from two contrasting plies, it creates a gorgeous "barber-pole" effect across your fabric. It eliminates the pooling often found in traditional variegated colorways, resulting in a beautifully balanced, speckled canvas. The natural wool fibers possess a generous bounce and exceptional structural memory, making it highly resilient against stretching or sagging over time.

Ideal Project Inspiration

This versatile skein excels in intricate colorwork, geometric patterns, and structured textures.

• Graphic Shawls: Amplifies simple garter and slip-stitch patterns into eye-catching statement pieces.

• Heirloom Sweaters: Perfect as a contrasting yoke color or knit solo for an all-over textured, heathered pullover.

• Crisp Cable Work: The high-contrast twist makes intricate twists, braids, and traveling stitches pop with incredible clarity.

Care Instructions

To preserve the natural elasticity and beautiful fiber bloom of the Peruvian Highland wool, hand wash your finished items in cool water with a high-quality wool wash. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
