Description
Our best selling MERNY fingering weight yarn is now available in a DK weight.
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 blends. This yarn is so versatile and can be used for any next to skin projects (scarves, jumpers etc) as well as items where a little more durability is required such as socks and gloves.
