The extrafine merino wool makes this yarn luxuriously soft and bouncy for next to skin comfort. A little nylon is added for extra durabilty and 5% gold stellina for a subtle sparkle.
The main factor determining the quality of merino wool is its softness which depends upon the fineness of the fibers. Extra fine merino (19.5 microns) is used which is some of the finest commercially available. This results in a super soft yarn that feels gentle against the skin.
 This yarn is so versatile and can be used for any next to skin project (scarves, sweaters, etc) as well as items where a little more durability is required such as socks and gloves. The yarn is perfect for socks but can equally can be knitted into scarves, shawls or even baby garments which will feel soft next to the skin due to the fine micron merino used.
