That is so sad! You deserve happiness and fine things. Cast on a new project, the most squishy yarn, fun notions and instruction books, some new skills and fiber friends with a class... Plus, this habit is much better for your teeth than crack.

Okay. We are not pretending this is tweed in a sensible blazer.

Neo Mermaid DK is smooth. Saturated. Bold. It’s less “cottage core librarian” and more “mermaid who owns LED lighting.”

This DK-weight superwash merino has a sleek, polished base that lets the color do its thing. And what it does is glow. The neon neps pop like tiny electric freckles, and the Stellina sparkle runs through it like stardust that refused to behave. In normal lighting, you get rich, juicy color with a subtle shimmer. Under UV? It turns into a fiber-optic sea creature.

The sparkle isn’t chunky or scratchy. It’s woven in fine and sly, catching light when you move. The neon flecks don’t read rustic. They read intentional. Modern. Slightly rebellious.

It’s soft enough for garments, sturdy enough for accessories, and dramatic enough to make someone ask, “Wait… what IS that yarn?”

Perfect for:
• Sweaters that look luxurious but secretly party
• Statement hats
• Shawls that deserve their own spotlight

This yarn doesn’t whisper. It glows. Classic base. Neon freckles. Mermaid glitter.
You can knit responsibly. It cannot.

Materials: 80% Superwash Merino Wool; 10% Neon Donegal Nep; 10% Mermaid Stellina Sparkle

Weight: DK

Yardage: 231 yards / 100g
