Turn on the blacklight. Retro DK is a soft, easy-care superwash merino with colorful Neon Donegal Neps scattered throughout, giving your fabric playful pops of color by day—and an entirely different personality under blacklight. The neon neps and dye fluoresce under UV/blacklight, making this yarn especially fun for hats, cowls, sweaters, and colorwork where those bright little flecks can really shine. And with 85% superwash merino, it's still a wonderfully wearable, versatile DK for everyday projects.
