Not every fingering weight plays by the rules. Rebel Light is a woollen-spun 4 ply from Outlaw Yarn with colour-drenched attitude — 80% soft non-superwash Merino blended with 20% NZ Halfbred for depth of colour, added strength, and a lofty, airy hand that's distinctly its own. The woollen spin gives it a halo and a bounce that worsted-spun yarns simply can't replicate, and the non-superwash Merino means the fibres retain their natural character: a little rustic, a lot beautiful.
The NZ Halfbred component is the secret weapon here. It amplifies how colour takes to the fibre — producing saturated, complex tones that shift and glow in the finished fabric — while also adding durability that makes Rebel Light a genuine all-rounder. Socks, shawls, lightweight sweaters, colourwork accessories — this yarn handles them all with the kind of personality that makes a project feel like it was worth the time.
