Coast by Holst Garn is one of those yarns that manages to feel light and summer and a little bit luxurious at the same time. A woollen spun blend of 55% Merino lambswool and 45% cotton, it has a softness that makes it genuinely comfortable against even the most sensitive skin - babies and children included. The Merino brings the warmth, elasticity, and that lovely woolly quality, while the cotton keeps things breathable and light, making it just as suited to a summer blouse as a light, lacy shawl. One of the things we especially love about Coast is how the two fibres absorb dye differently, giving many colourways a subtle, heathered quality that adds real character to the finished fabric. With abroad palette and generous yardage, there's something here for every project and every mood. Coast comes in easy to use 50g cakes and is a dream to cast on with.
