Queensland Myrtle
Myrtle by Queensland is a smooth, silky yarn made from 100% lyocell, a plant-based fiber produced from eucalyptus. Sometimes described as a “vegan silk,” lyocell offers beautiful drape, softness, and a subtle sheen without the use of animal fibers. Its fluid feel and medium weight make Myrtle an excellent choice for tops, cardigans, wraps, shawls, scarves, and other projects where drape and movement are important.
