75% Superwash Merino Wool 25% Nylon Yarn

Medium grade, 27 micron superwash merino wool is combined with nylon for a very durable and springy sock yarn, designed for items that will be worn and washed a lot. Whilst not quite as soft as our signature extrafine 19.5 micron merino yarns, this yarn is fantastic for hard wearing socks, gloves and jumpers. Being of a higher micron count also means it can be offered at a lower price. Overall a great, budget yarn for those looking for a soft yarn with maximum durability. Takes up the dye well to produce strong, vibrant colours. A perennial favourite of knitters and dyers.

If you are looking for a very soft Merino/nylon blend for next to skin wear, please see our MERNY4H (85% SW Merino 15% Nylon) yarn.

Approx. 4000m per 1 kg cone.

Please note that the cones are an intermediate stage in the spinning process and can vary in weight (and length) to be under or over 1kg. The discount on the cones accounts for this discrepancy. They are intended to be spliced or knotted together to form longer lengths from which specific weights of hanks are reeled.
