Neon Nep Fingering is a soft, high-twist fingering-weight yarn scattered with bright Donegal neps for a playful pop of color and texture. The best part? The neon neps glow under UV light!
The neps do not absorb dye, so they stay bright and prominent against the hand-dyed yarn. The superwash merino takes color beautifully and knits into a soft fabric with lovely drape, making this base a fun choice for shawls, sweaters, hats, fingerless gloves and other accessories. It can also be used for socks, though a smaller needle and tighter gauge are recommended for a more durable fabric.
I hand paint my yarn in small batches, and every skein is unique. No two skeins will knit up exactly the same. I do not guarantee a specific pattern will occur when you knit with my yarn or that a colorway will pool or not pool. That unpredictability is part of the fun of working with hand-dyed yarn!
Hand dyed in Florida with professional-grade acid dyes in my dog- and kitty-friendly, nonsmoking home. I wash and rinse the fiber after dyeing, but colors may bleed slightly on the first wash. While I do my best to describe and photograph colors accurately, colors may vary from monitor to monitor.
My yarn is ethically sourced, and you can be confident that the merino is mulesing-free.
Need sweater quantities?
Need more skeins than are currently available?
I may be able to dye a sweater quantity of this colorway for you. Get in touch to ask about availability. Because each batch is hand-dyed, some variation is expected.
Materials + Care
Hand washing in cool water with a gentle wool wash is recommended. While I thoroughly rinse every skein, some color bleeding may occur, particularly with highly saturated colors.
Hand-dyed skeins are unique, even within the same dye lot. For larger projects, I recommend alternating skeins every few rows to help blend natural variations in color. Always follow the care needs of your finished project and the specific fibers in your chosen yarn.

In-stock orders typically ship within 3–5 business days. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout, and tracking will be emailed once your order is on the way. Preorder and dye-to-order turnaround times will be noted in the product listing.
