Koigu KPPPM Pencil Box Sweet Pea, Hand Painted Merino Mini Skein Set, Fingering Weight 820 yds

Fresh, soft, and full of quiet surprise — the Koigu KPPPM Sweet Pea Pencil Box is a hand-curated collection of 10 mini skeins built around a garden-inspired palette of soft pinks, white, green, and pea green, then unexpectedly deepened by one skein of misty blues and grays and one of warm golden yellows and browns. Those two outliers are what make this box special — grounding the softness of the florals with a touch of sky and earth, and giving finished projects a depth and complexity that a straight pastel palette simply couldn't achieve.

Hand dyed in Ontario, Canada by a family-owned operation with over 30 years of passion for high quality wool, knitting, and design, each mini skein in this box is a tiny work of art in its own right. Soft, springy, and tightly plied, KPPPM has a beautiful sheen and a satisfying bounce that makes every stitch a pleasure — from the first cast-on to the final bind-off.
As fun as your first box of crayons, the Pencil Box unleashes creativity and gives you the opportunity to play with color. Use the mini skeins for striping, colorwork, or gradients, or mix and match them with a coordinating KPM solid for a larger project. The Sweet Pea palette is especially beautiful for shawls and wraps where the color shifts can really sing.

Please note
Each skein should be wound into a ball before knitting. As with all hand-dyed yarn, colors may vary slightly from skein to skein and from photos shown — this is part of the natural beauty of the hand-dyeing process.
A note on hand-dyed yarn
For best results, buy enough yarn for your entire project at once, and alternate two rows from each skein as you knit to ensure an even, blended finish.
Care
Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry.
