Description
Our usual extrafine merino wool makes this yarn luxuriously soft and bouncy for next to skin comfort but we've added more nylon for those who would prefer a 75/25 blend.

The main factor determining the quality of merino wool is its softness which depends upon the fineness of the fibres. We use extrafine merino (19.5 microns) which is some of the finest commercially available for hand dyers. This results in a supersoft yarn that feels gentle against the skin.

This yarn is so versatile and can be used for any next to skin project (scarves, jumpers etc) as well as items where a little more durability is required such as socks and gloves.

1 x 100gm hank = 100gms total
