Description
A soft, single ply 100% super wash merino yarn. Extra fine (19.5 micron) merino is used to give a plump, silky yarn with a pearly lustre.
The main factor determining the quality of merino wool is its softness which depends upon the fineness of the fibres. We use extra fine merino (19.5 microns) which is some of the finest commercially available for hand dyers. This results in a super soft yarn that feels gentle against the skin.
Ideal for accessories, jumpers, cardigans and much, much more.
