75% Superwash Merino, 15% Nylon and 10% Nep Yarn
A tweedy version of Fetch sock yarn with subtle black, caramel and cream flecks (neps). The viscose neps resist the dye and remain their original colour. When worked up into a project, the yarn produces a rustic look due to the speckles of neutral colours provided by the tweedy neps.
Nylon is included in the neps so that the yarn is as versatile and durable as our other merino/nylon blends.
It can be used for sweaters, scarves, shawls as well as more hard wearing items such as socks and gloves.
The main factor determining the quality of merino wool is its softness which depends upon the fineness of the fibres. This yarn is spun from Extrafine merino (19.5 microns), some of the finest commercially available, resulting in a supersoft yarn that feels gentle against the skin.
