Julie Asselin Leizu Fingering Bristol Green

Fueled by a mission to bring together fiber artists, Julie Asselin creates artisanal hand-dyed colorways on premium yarn bases.  Located in Quebec, Canada, the team dyes a limited amount of yarn in small batches.  Each batch is slightly nuanced to deliver a lovely & unique experience for each project. 

Soft & sturdy, with gorgeous stitch definition, Leizu Fingering is a blend of superwash Merino wool with a touch of silk.  Incredible to knit & wear, the yarn has a sheen & luminosity that gives stitches dimension.

Delightfully versatile, the yarn is wonderful for hats, cowls, sweaters, cardigans,  wraps & shawls.  An expansive palette of subtle tonal & speckle colorways allows your creativity to shine.

Artisan hand-dyed yarns have natural color variations from skein to skein. Our team will do their best to choose the best matching skeins for your order. Here are some tips to get the best results when knitting with hand-dyed yarns:

• Purchase enough yarn for your entire project
• Alternate skeins by knitting two rows from one skein, then two rows from another skein. This will help to blend color differences.
