You may already know Hobbii Unicorn, our extremely popular, hand dyed merino?
The quality was created when we found an extremely talented person in Istanbul who dyes yarn by hand. We were mesmerized by the beautiful colors the first time we saw her work, and since then she’s produced the multi colored Hobbii Unicorn especially for us.
And the possibilities grow exponentially with this solid color verson: Unicorn Solid. It’s made from the exact same base of soft, extra fine merino. The solid version is not dyed by hand, and that means that the color is completely uniform. The colors for Unicorn Solid were developed in close cooperation with our color expert who hand dyes Unicorn, and she’s matched the shades with colors that are used in Unicorn. You don’t need to worry about combining the two versions because the colors will match beautifully - and the yarn is of the same great quality.
If you want to experiment with dying yarn by hand with a luxurious, quality yarn, then we recommend that you use Unicorn Solid color no. 1. It’s the exact same yarn that Unicorn is made with.
Unicorn Solid is remarkable because of the high quality. It’s a carefully balanced mix between the exquisite, fine merino wool, and the strengthening polyamide that it’s spun with. It makes Unicorn Solid durable enough that you can even use it for socks, but the comfort is still high enough that you can use it to knit the most exquisite clothes - with extra durability.
We have a little tip for you: You can get the most luxurious results if you combine Unicorn Solid with a thin strand of mohair like our Kid Silk. The fluffy silk mohair will give you knit or crocheted project extra volume and add a beautiful shine.
Unicorn Solid has received a superwash treatment and can therefore be washed in the washing machine (please note the other washing instructions).
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2076-311). Find more information about the certification at https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/
NB! The darker colors might bleed a bit. If that occurs we recommend rinsing the yarn. If you use the Solid version with Unicorn, it’s of the utmost importance that you follow the washing instructions for the hand dyed version: Hand wash at max. 68℉ (20℃) and no soaking.
The Unicorn Solid colors are found in the following Unicorn versions:Color 18: 1, 7
Please note that the colors in Unicorn may vary from Unicorn Solid, since Unicorn is hand dyed, which can result in color variations, even though the exact same color has been used in the coloring process.

I LOVE this yarn, it’s really soft, comes in a great range of colours and knits up really nicely as it just glides over my needles. As others have said, I was concerned it would be itchy because it has a high wool content, but it’s not at all. Super warm and soft against your skin. Highly recommend ❤️

I’m so happy with this purchase!! I love this yarn so much!! I’m really hoping you expand the shade range because it’s such a versatile yarn, I’ve just finished making a summer crop top with it and I couldn’t be happier that I bought in multiple colours!

I love this yarn so much. I bought a few skeins to try it and my kids absolutely love it too. I came back to get a jumper quantity for myself. but most colours are out of stock. Hope you restock soon!
Natasha
Lovely soft yarn & easy to wind into a cake, no knots or tangles. I bought the Navy solid to go with the multicoloured Amazed (07), can't wait to start my crochet dress pattern with these!
Natasha
I already have the navy and have since bought the cream to make a jumper, it's such lovely yarn & so nice to work with, I think I'm going to end up making something in every colour!
