Queensland Elder
Queensland Collection Elder is a beautiful DK-weight merino that strikes the perfect balance between softness and structure. Spun from 100% Anatolian Merino wool, Elder has a smooth hand and gentle elasticity that creates crisp stitch definition—making it an excellent choice for sweaters, hats, mitts, and textured accessories you’ll reach for season after season.
This is one of those dependable yarns that feels just as good on your needles as it does when worn. Elder produces a polished, wearable fabric with enough resilience to hold its shape, whether you’re working simple stockinette, cables, or colorwork.
Why we love it at Finnegan’s Run: Elder is a fantastic everyday merino—soft without being fragile, structured without feeling stiff. It’s perfect for garments and accessories that are meant to be worn, loved, and lived in.
