Front Country Merino

Fleece Artist Front Country Merino is the lighter, softer sister yarn to the rugged Back Country base. Crafted for your favourite DK weight projects, Front Country is a premium, luxury-grade staple designed to elevate your making.
 
This base gets its name from comfortable "RV-style" camping. It delivers a cozy, medium-weight fabric that is perfectly soft for next-to-skin wear. The premium superwash fibres give your stitches a subtle, elegant sheen and a gorgeous fluid drape that completely transforms everyday sweaters, shawls and accessories.
 
Every single skein is hand-dyed in small batches in Nova Scotia, Canada. This means your project will feature the unique, rich color depths that only true artisan dyeing can achieve.
