Elder Anatolian Merino Wool Yarn by Queensland

Queensland's Elder is a light weight yarn spun from 100% Anatolian Merino, a breed developed over nearly a century in the highlands of Türkiye. The crimped fibers give Elder a lively bounce and natural elasticity. Cables, textures, and stitch patterns knit up with crisp definition, and finished sweaters, hats, and scarves hold their shape over years of wear. Elder is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and mulesing-free, offered in a wide palette of heathered neutrals and saturated jewel tones.
