CaMaRose Snefnug
CaMaRose named Snefnug after the Danish term for "snowflake" and this yarn definitely delivers as a light, airy, dreamy confection for chilly days. This is a blown yarn, meaning the organic Egyptian cotton forms a chainette mesh tube and the baby alpaca and merino are "blown" into it, creating a fluffy yet bulky weight yarn that belies it's airiness.
CaMaRose is committed to environmental friendly practices and ethical production standards. Snefnug is Responsible Wool Standards certified (RWS info here) so you can trust that every step of the production process was respectful of the animals, environment, and people involved.
Snefnug is wonderfully soft, creating soft and quick knits.
