Oasis is a luxury yarn made from premium Merino wool and Baby Camel down. This yarn has been treated with the Basolan process which uses an organic chlorine donating compound to etch the fibre providing shrink-resistance, reducing pilling, and enhancing the lustre and soft handle of the yarn. This yarn is made using a ring-spun 8-ply structure that is perfect for this fine fibre blend, producing a longer wearing yarn that is gorgeously soft and bouncy with great stitch definition and drape. The natural colour of the Camel Down makes for deep rich earthy tones when hand dyed.
