MERICA CAMAÏEU

This beautiful yarn is made of 100% untreated merino Rambouillet wool, which is grown and processed in the USA.

The yarn is hand-dyed with great care in Montreal to create stunning colors that will enhance your knitting projects. Merica is perfect for knitting stranded colorwork designs, shawls, garments and winter accessories. You'll love the crisp and natural feel of the untreated Rambouillet wool, which creates a high-quality fingering weight yarn that is both beautiful and sustainable.

Camaïeu, or en camaïeu, is a term used in the arts to describe a painting process using several tones and tints of the same color. For me, the term ‘‘monochromatic’’ reminds me of an oil painting on canvas, Man and Woman Contemplating the Moon, painted by Caspar David Friedrich, during my studies in History of Art. - 𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒊𝒔𝒆
