Monk Gyatso | Swirlpool Beanie Knitting Kit | One-Ply Bulky Yarn

Monk Gyatso is a hand-dyed yarn in micro batches. Spun from primarily Merino Wool, this yarn is a truly luxurious option for chunky knits. If you are a fan of Malabrigo Noventa and Rasta, this yarn is incredibly similar, with thickness between those two iconic yarns, bringing incredible softness to your favorite quick-to-knit projects. This collection is inspired by Avatar, the last Airbender!

What is Merino Wool? 

Merino wool is a natural fiber grown by Merino sheep. It's thinner and softer than regular wool. It's odor resistant, breathable, and extremely comfortable to wear in cold temperatures. Merino wool helps you regulate your body temperature, keeping you dry and sweat-free. You will love knitting with and wearing it!
