Ah, Cormo! A mix of Superfine Saxon Merino, Lincoln, and Australian Merino sheep, Cormos produce a soft yarn with exceptional stitch definition and next-to-skin softness. Jill Zielinski’s Elemental Worsted is a non-superwash, hand-dyed yarn with a fine twist that reduces pilling, available in a palette of vibrant colors and more subtle hues. Elemental Worsted is suitable for all garments and accessories; make something you’d like to wear (or to be worn) for a long time. Hand wash, and lay flat to dry.

Remember that hand-dyed skeins are created individually, in small batches. If you are making a larger garment, please consider alternating skeins every two rows or rounds if you want an appearance of overall consistency in your finished object.
