Ex Libris Joyce Base

The Joyce Base from Ex Libris is a soft, hand-dyed fingering-weight yarn blending superwash merino with a touch of nylon for added strength. Inspired by literary greats and rich storytelling, each skein is dyed in nuanced colorways that shift beautifully from light to dark. Perfect for socks, shawls, and lightweight garments that balance softness with durability.

Why we love it: A smooth, dependable fingering base that lets Ex Libris colorways shine.
