A small box of color for embroidery, mending, and creating with Merino wool hand-dyed using natural dyes.
Each box contains six 16 m skeins of Merino de la Patagonia Single Fingering, carefully selected to create a harmonious color palette.
Its single-ply construction and gentle twist allow it to be used as a single strand, without dividing. It is ideal for wool embroidery, visible mending, darning, decorative stitching, and small textile details.
The boxes may include the natural, undyed shade of the fiber, as well as colors hand-dyed with natural dyes. The subtle variations created by this process give each color depth and a unique character.

About the fiber
Verified regenerative origin. The fiber comes from Patagonian farms verified by Land to Market™, where measurable environmental outcomes such as soil health, biodiversity, and the water cycle are monitored.
The people who raise these flocks manage their land and animals by working with the cycles of nature, helping to create more diverse ecosystems, healthier soils, and a greater capacity for regeneration.
Quality and animal welfare. The wool is sourced directly from farms that meet OVIS XXI’s advanced wool-classing standards for Ultimate Merino Wool, as well as the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS).
The Ultimate Merino Wool designation identifies fiber that has been selected and classed at the source according to criteria for quality, traceability, and responsible management. These standards support practices that respect the sheep, the people, and the environment.
About the color
Our colored skeins are hand-dyed in small batches using natural dyes. This process may create subtle variations from one skein to another, which are part of the unique character of each color.

Care
Hand wash in cold water using a pH-neutral detergent made specifically for wool. Do not soak or wring. Lay flat to dry in the shade.
