Great Adirondack Lolita
A gorgeous yarn from Great Adirondack. Lolita is a beautiful combination of superwash merino and bamboo. It is not only soft, it has the most beautiful luster. Great Adirondack Lolita comes in a range of sophisticated and fun colorways that are enhanced by the beautiful sheen. At a whopping 1120 yards per skein, you should have no problem knitting a pair of socks, or a lovely stole.
This yarn is available online only.

Comments about Great Adirondack Lolita:
I am making a ruffled scarf. I love the colors and how they are knitting up without pooling. This is a strong yarn yet soft to the touch. The shine or luster is greater than what I'd get with a merino/silk blend. The yarn does not split. The yarn does not pill. The yardage is generous enough to make a matching scarf and fingerless glove set.

I would buy this yarn again and again. It is strong, doesn't pill, and has a lovely sheen. It's perfect for lace projects and the colors don't hide the pattern.

Comments about Great Adirondack Lolita:
Soft, good bounce, shiny and easy to knit with. If i didnt know it was bamboo/merino I would have guessed silk/merino. Makes lovely cables, I am making the 'jeanie' drop stitch cable wrap from the knitty site and its coming out like a dream. The color gradations are just great. What I got (lolita)looks very close to what was pictured on-line, you must remember that these are hand-dyed and each hank is unique the basic colors are the same, proportions are different.
Comments about Great Adirondack Lolita:
I think the colors look like I expected them to. Very soft, I've only had the chance to knit a quick swatch but now I can't wait to start a project.
Comments about Great Adirondack Lolita:
The yarn is nice, but I am very disappointed in the representation of the colors online. Neither of the hanks I bought look like the ones pictured here. Very upsetting.
Comments about Great Adirondack Lolita:
Just beautiful! So soft, and with an almost shimmery sheen to it that wool/silk mixes can't match. It knits up beautiful, with subtle color shifts. If you try it you won't be disappointed! Or if you are, send the yarn my way!
