Jilly Lace is a color-drenched semi-solid merino yarn from Dream in Color, a woman-owned independent yarn company that hand-dyes all their yarns in the United States.

Jilly Lace was created as the perfect shawl yarn — a soft and lustrous single-ply construction lends itself to lace projects, and at almost 900 yards per hank it’s a great value. Jilly lace is a machine washable superwash yarn that knits up at 7 to 8 stitches to the inch on US 0 to 2 needles.
