85% Superwash Extrafine Merino (19.5 micron) 15% Nylon Yarn

Perfect for large multicoloured and gradient shawls, colourwork accents on jumpers, as well as mis-matching fraternal socks.

The extrafine merino wool makes this yarn luxuriously soft and bouncy for next to skin comfort. A little nylon is added for extra durabilty.

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.

One of our best selling bases. 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.
