Freia Fine Handpaints
In 2010, Tina Whitmore developed gradient yarns -a color method unlike any multi-colored yarn that existed before, beginning one of the most marked and copied trends to hit the yarn market of this decade. She started Freia, providing a unique hand-dyed yarn, at a scale large enough to cater to Local Yarn Stores globally . The custom-spun fiber Tina uses is soft and lofty (or smooshy as she prefers to call it). It has a wonderful rustic character to it, without the itch. In Freia's Flux self-striping yarn the balls begin and end in the same color, making it simple to just keep knitting on a bigger project without having to dig to match colors from ball to ball (and waste yarn in the process). The Ombré yarns have gorgeous extra long gradients - that cannot be replicated in mass production - with a lush depth of color only we can bring as hand dyers. Our semi-solids give a knitter enough flexibility to combine all sorts of colors in a project in a base to match the other yarns we supply.
Introducing PLUSH, Freia's newest Super Bulky Ombre, made of an amazing 85% US Merino, 15% Mulberry Silk. The Knitted Purl is excited to be one of the select yarn stores where this yarn is available :). We love it for fast and fabulous projects!
