Hand dyed right here in Maine by the lovely ladies of Snallygaster Fibers with exclusive colors just for KnitWit Yarn Shop. Bug Light is our fingering weight yarn. Named for the Po rtland Breakwater Light in South Portland, Maine. Portland Breakwater Light Station was established in 1855. The existing light tower – dubbed “Bug Light” because of its small size – was built in 1875. Though modeled on an ancient Greek monument, it was built with plates of cast iron, painted white. A blend of 75% superwash merino and 25% nylon. A sturdy blend for durable socks, but still soft enough for neckwear and hats. 460 yards / 100 grams Handwashing is recommended.
