How does Baah Yarn La Jolla feel to work with, and is it good for sensitive skin?

Baah Yarn La Jolla is a super soft wool yarn made of 100% superwash merino, which makes it super gentle against the skin—even for those with wool sensitivities. Its smooth texture and bouncy feel make it a dream to knit or crochet with, so you can trust it for cozy projects like socks, shawls, or baby items without worry.

Do I need to worry about color differences between skeins of Baah Yarn La Jolla?

Because Baah Yarn La Jolla is a hand-dyed wool yarn, each skein is a little unique—even within the same colorway and dye lot. If your project calls for more than one skein, we recommend alternating skeins every couple of rows. This blends any subtle color variations and gives your project a beautifully cohesive look.

How much Baah Yarn La Jolla should I buy for my project, like socks or a shawl?

Each skein of Baah Yarn La Jolla wool yarn provides a generous 400 yards in fingering weight—plenty for most adult-sized socks or a simple lightweight shawl. For larger shawls, you may need two skeins. It's always a good idea to check your pattern's yardage requirements before purchasing, just to be safe!

What types of projects is Baah Yarn La Jolla best suited for?

Baah Yarn La Jolla shines in projects where you want softness, vibrant hand-dyed color, and crisp stitch definition. It's ideal for fingering weight projects like socks, lacy shawls, lightweight scarves, and baby garments. The superwash merino makes it soft enough for next-to-skin wear, and it's strong and durable for accessories you'll use often.

What are the care instructions for finished items made with Baah Yarn La Jolla wool yarn?

To keep your finished Baah Yarn La Jolla items looking their best, hand-wash them gently in cold water and lay them flat to dry. Avoid soaking for a long time, and remember that a tiny bit of color run-off is normal for hand-dyed yarns, especially on the first wash. Treat your handmade pieces with care, and they'll stay vibrant and soft for years!

Love this yarn

MADE INTO A SHAWL WITH MOHAIR!

I used this yarn along with some mohair I had purchased in Norway and just finished making the most beautiful shawl. The color combination was perfect and working with both yarns in tandem was a luxury for my hands. I've already worn my shawl and gotten rave reviews on it! Woo Hoo!

Love Baah

I've used Baah La Jolla for years. It's a great yarn that wears well and is very soft. The hand-dyed dye lots for the same colorway can very widely so you MUST make sure you get the full amount up front for a project, or you will likely have an issue tracking down an exact match.

Lovely to knit with.

I bought this yarn to make a lighter weight beanie and it is perfect. As well as very nice to work with.
