Three plies of super soft Merino are tightly twisted together, resulting in a dense and springy yarn with tons of definition and body. Because of this compact construction the yardage and weight can be misleading, with a lot more grams of merino goodness packed into each yard. At 20.5 microns, the fine grade Merino is particularly soft as well as superwash, for added machine washable convenience. The compact plying makes this yarn particularly resistant to pilling and more able to withstand the rigors of the washing machine, making it ideal for next-to-skin accessories like cowls, scarves, and hats or lighter garments that you’ll want to touch.
6/2019 update: Please note, initially this yarn was listed as a DK weight; after many tests, KnitPicks staff have determined it works up better in a worsted weight gauge. The original shipment will still be listed as a DK weight.
Shipping note: I will be glad to combine shipping if you are ordering multiple items from me, to reduce your overall shipping spend.
