Hickory - Cotton Merino Classic 4-ply Yarn

About the colourway: Rich, warm and naturally grounded, Hickory is a deep woodland brown with gentle tonal variation that adds depth and interest. Inspired by aged wood and forest tones, it has a classic, earthy feel that’s both timeless and versatile. Perfect for everything from garments to accessories, this dependable shade works beautifully on its own or paired with brighter colours for contrast.

About the yarn base: Our Cotton Merino Classic 4-ply yarn is a beautifully balanced blend of 50% superwash merino wool and 50% Peruvian Pima cotton. It offers a soft, smooth feel with a subtle matt finish, combining the comfort of merino with the breathable, lightweight qualities of cotton.

Enjoy the best of both fibres – the merino adds gentle elasticity and softness, while the cotton brings strength, structure and a cool, airy feel. This makes it ideal for shawls, socks, lightweight garments and transitional-season projects.

Whether you're knitting or crocheting garments, accessories or everyday pieces, Cotton Merino Classic 4-ply is a pleasure to work with. This versatile fingering-weight yarn provides excellent stitch definition and a beautifully wearable finish across a wide range of projects.
