The Solnit Base from Ex Libris is a luxurious hand-dyed fingering-weight yarn crafted from a blend of merino, cashmere, and nylon. Named for author and activist Rebecca Solnit, this base embodies both beauty and strength — soft, resilient, and deeply expressive in color. Ideal for shawls, sweaters, and accessories that combine elegance with everyday wearability.
Why we love it: A cashmere touch and hand-dyed artistry — soft enough for special projects, durable enough for daily use.
