I must have traveled in a time machine! 

I just found a very few of these tucked away.  The yarn was discontinued, alas and these are all that are left.  The yarns are in pristine condition though a couple of the labels are a bit torn.

We don't usually stock a lot of yarns that are heavier than lace weight and fingering weight -- well, we want yarns that can "play" well with beads. But sometimes a yarn comes along that really sings to me -- and then it turns out that we have lots of patterns with beads that can be made with it. Well, you can guess the rest.

This is a wonderful yarn from Shibui, called Merino Kid as it is made up of a 55%/45% blend of kid mohair and merino wool.

You can just imagine how delicious it feels.

Each skein has a generous 218 yards (200m) to its 3.5 ounces (100 grams) and a suggested gauge of 20 stitches/ 26 rows to 4" (10cm) using US 7 (4.5mm) needles.

As a wonderful plus, the two fibers seem to take the dye just slightly differently, so each of these are very much what we call an almost-solid. There are variations of hue in each and every one of the colorways we got in and this gives it such a lovely depth and vibrancy of color -- I wish you could see them in person.

We got in a wonderful variety of nine colorways.

On this page we show five cool-ish colors that are really lovely. I name them here in the order of the photos below:

Seaweed, has marvelously tonal greens, mostly in the deep olive family, some tones light and some mediu and some dark. 

Ink is a wonderful black but even here there are variations of tone with a bit of dark charcoal. Great look.

Burnt Orange is a rich tonal blend of varying depths of orange, some close to red-orange, some closer to amber.
