Queensland United
United is a dream staple yarn. Not only is it certified organic and a sweet blend of merino and cotton, but it comes in very handy 50 gram balls (nice for those fingering weight projects where you don't want a whole 100 grams of any one color) AND it comes in handy little pre-wound cakes. Oh and it's machine washable, too! Great for baby items, shawls, lightweight sweaters and tops, and more! Oh, and one more thing.... only $7.50 a ball!! Also available in large ball gradient rolls, United Foursome. See projects for United on Ravelry here.
