Blue Jay's Nest - 21.5 Micron SW Merino - Fingering Weight

Blue Bird’s Nest is a soft layering of airy sky blue and pale, creamy ivory, gently shifting between cool and warm tones throughout the skein. Deep, earthy speckles in brown, saffron orange, deep red and muted plum are scattered across the lighter base, adding contrast and texture like twigs woven through a nest.

The blues range from powdery pastel to brighter robin’s egg, giving the colorway movement without overwhelming the softer background. The darker speckles create visual interest and depth, making this yarn especially striking in stockinette or simple stitch patterns where the color can take center stage.

Care Instructions

Care Instructions
Non-superwash wool must always be hand washed in cool water with a mild wool wash and laid flat to dry. Do not machine wash, as it will felt and shrink with heat or agitation.

Superwash yarns can be hand washed in cool water for the best longevity, but they may also be machine washed on a gentle cycle inside a garment bag. Always lay flat to dry.

Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat, as these can damage the fibers.

Blend-Specific Notes
Sock yarns with nylon (such as Snowdrift Select Sock) are more durable and tolerate gentle machine washing, though hand washing will still extend the life of your project.

Glitter yarns with Stellina (such as Gold Glitter and Silver Glitter) should be handled gently; avoid wringing or twisting to protect the sparkle filament.

Bulky yarns (such as Salcantay Bulky) are heavier when wet and should be fully supported while drying flat to prevent stretching.

Hand-Dyed Yarn Notes

Colors may be slightly different than actual product as computer and device monitor settings can alter the color appearance. We do our best to ensure that the yarns appear as they do in real life.

Our yarns are hand-dyed in small batches, so slight variations may occur between skeins. For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows to blend color shifts.

While every effort is made to set dye thoroughly, some color transfer may occur on the first wash, especially with highly saturated shades. Wash separately the first time.

Yarn is dyed in limited lots, and colors may vary slightly from batch to batch. Please be sure to purchase enough for your project at once.

Large orders placed together will be dyed in the same session to ensure the closest possible match.
