Day 8: Marled Marvel – Zebra Fingering
Day 8 of our 12 Days of Skeins introduces a yarn that’s as bold as it is dynamic: our zebra fingering base. This 80% Merino super wash and 20% nylon blend is a 2-ply fingering yarn, offering the ideal balance of softness, durability, and creativity. Perfect for socks, shawls, and lightweight garments, this base offers a unique marled effect that adds instant character and dimension to any project.
Why we love it:
Unique marled texture: The black-and-neutral yarns create a marled-stripe effect which adds consistent visual interest to any project. It can also offset any unpredictable pooling that can happen in certain colour ways.
Soft and strong: The 80/20 Merino-nylon blend offers the best of both worlds—luxurious softness with the strength to stand up to everyday wear.
Lightweight versatility: Ideal for shawls, socks, lightweight sweaters, and accessories, this fingering-weight yarn merges elegance with whimsy.
Dynamic hand-dyeing: The marled base interacts beautifully with hand-dyed colour ways, resulting in stunning, one-of-a-kind effects.
What makes it special:
Our Zebra Fingering base is your secret weapon for creating eye-catching designs with minimal effort. The marled effect turns plain stitches into bold statements, while the blend of Merino and nylon ensures your creations are as practical as they are beautiful. Use it solo for a striped look or pair it with a solid yarn for dramatic colour work and texture.
