Make a pair of colorful socks, a lightweight shawl, or a crocheted scarf that brings a little extra pleasure to getting dressed. Apple Fiber Studio Gala’s Pretty Pretty Yarn Club colorways pair expressive hand-dyed color with soft merino wool and the practical durability of nylon.
Gala is a fingering-weight yarn made with 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon. The merino provides softness and warmth, while nylon adds strength for socks and frequently worn accessories. Its plied construction gives stitches definition, whether you enjoy simple knitting, textured details, or crochet.
Hand-dyed in Bellingham, Washington, these colorways range from quiet woodland shades to bright pinks and rich sunset tones. Choose a color you love, then let a simple stitch pattern give it room to shine.
