Recently landed is a very underestimated new yarn, Lang's Mille Colori Baby. Unlike the other yarns in Lang's Mille Colori series, it is 100% merino wool, without any synthetics like it's predecessors. This incarnation is also machine washable! It is a fingering weight (skinny), and soft. 1 ball is enough to make a hat, mitts or gloves. 2 balls are good for socks or a newborn sweater, 4 skeins will do it for a scarf.
We threw it on our knitting machine (equivalent of 5mm to 6mm-ish) and found that the yarn blooms and has a really interesting wave, it created a gorgeous texture just in stocking stitch. 100% merino wool

I love this yarn. While I am knitting a little baby sweater from the book, the whole time I am saying to myself this would make a great yarn for something for me! Thanks for the ideas.
