Extra fine merino wool is blended with luxurious cashmere to a pearly smooth DK weight yarn, perfect for hats, scarves, and extra warm cardigans or sweaters. The yarn will bloom after washing so make sure to make a gauge swatch for a successful project.

More Information
Dyed in hank form (big loops of yarn). Wind it into a ball to start knitting/crocheting/weaving.
One hank can have zero to three knots.
The merino wool is labeled as “Virgin Wool” or “New Wool”, as decreed by the EU-regulations for the labeling of non-recycled “new” sheep’s wool.
Each hand-dyed skein is different. Skeins of a batch are the most similar, so try to get enough for your project or pre-order the amount you need.
Depending on monitor settings colors may be displayed differently.

The total delivery time is therefore the processing time plus the shipping times below.
If you have ordered articles with different delivery dates, we send the articles together in one delivery if no other agreement has been made. The delivery date for the complete order will be the same as that of the article with the longest delivery time.
Pearly Texture: 6-ply yarn made from three 2-ply yarns, which makes the yarn wonderfully round.
Light Halo: soft and short cashmere fibers form a delicate fluff around the yarn.

Merino Sheep's Wool
Wool is a natural protein fiber that is sheared from sheep of over 200 different breeds worldwide. It is naturally crimped with a lofty hand and has been used for its warmth for 10,000 years. Merino sheep, with their particularly fine and light-colored coat, were introduced to Australia in 1797, where the best Merinos are still bred today.
Warm
Absorbs moisture better than cotton and is a master at retaining air and warmth.
Shapely
Holds the shape of garments very well and is wrinkle-resistant, for elegant structured fabrics.
Mulesing Free
Obtained from sheep that are protected from pests by means other than mulesing.
Cashmere
A softer, finer and more luxurious wool that is carefully collected from the undercoat of the cashmere goat. The goats are not shorn, but the silky fibers are collected through a labor-intensive combing process.
Luxurious
Silky, soft and fine, but difficult to harvest and therefore rare.
Warm
Keeps you even warmer than sheep's wool, while draping gracefully with a fuzzy halo.
ICCAW CERTIFIED
Certified cashmere by the International Cooperation Committee for Animal Welfare.
Five Freedoms
All ICCAW goats are free from hunger, thirst, discomfort, disease or fear.
