This week we are proud to feature Lorna's Laces Green Line DK. Green Line DK is a 100% certifiably grown and spun merino that is happy anywhere between 5-6 sts/inch. Hand-dyed in soft deep subtly shaded solids, it would make a beautiful garment for babies or adults.

Surprise surprise -- my favorite is definitely Mirth! I could see it working beautifully in a striped cardi paired with Echo and some large vintage buttons.
