4ply Weight Superwash Extrafine (19.5 micron) Merino Wool Yarn 1 x 100gm hank

4ply Sock weight (approx. 4/16nm)

100% Superwash Merino Wool Yarn.

Extrafine (19.5 microns) merino is used for these yarns so they feel soft and gentle against the skin. The yarns are worsted spun from extra long staple fibres to produce a yarn that is fine and strong with a silky feel. Very soft and springy, the 4 plies and twist provide extra robustness.

A very versatile yarn, it can be used for socks, shawls, wraps, mittens and light jumpers. Washable in cold water on a gentle cycle, it is also suitable for children's and baby clothes. Takes up the dye well to produce deep, vibrant colours.
