Aran/Worsted weight yarn with 2 plies. Approx. 2/3.6 Nm.

90% Superwash Merino (21.5 micron) 10% Linen Yarn

Our best selling MERLIN singles yarn in an aran weight. Two singles are lightly twisted together to produce an aran weight yarn. A soft merino and linen blend yarn with texture and a gentle tweedy haze. Nylon free.

The natural linen gives the yarn a textured finish with subtle drape and produces a rustic, almost hand spun look when knitted up. When dyed with acid dyes, the linen resists the dye and remains white, producing a halo of linen fibres.

It is ideal for jumpers, cowls and shawls.
