Kit of 6, 8 Ply MW Merino Teal Fade

The main factor determining the quality of merino wool is its softness which depends upon the fineness of the fibres. Extrafine merino (19.5 microns) is some of the finest commercially available for hand dyers. The resulting yarn feels supersoft and gentle against the skin.  This is a very versatile soft yarn and can be used for shawls, wraps, mittens and jumpers. Washable in cold water on a gentle cycle, it is also suitable for children’s and baby clothes.

This is a 6 skein kit of supersoft DK weight MW Merino.  Colours range from pale creamy grey and teal through a range of blues and greys to deep variegated teal. There are lots of speckles and variegations in these yarns.

Colours from left to right:

Ice Storm, Icicles, Bad Moon Rising, Blue Yonder, Wild Blue Yonder and Nearly There.
