DK Superwash Extrafine (19.5 micron) Merino Wool Yarn 1 x 100g Hank

DK Weight (approx. 4/8Nm)

100% Superwash Merino.

We have switched production of this base to a different mill. We still use the same high quality 19.5 micron merino fibre and a top quality spinner and the yarn is spun to the same specifications. However, natural variations in the fibres and different spinning machinery can mean that you may notice a slight difference from earlier batches. This yarn requires no different treatment before dyeing so prepare it as you usually would.

Extrafine (19.5 microns) merino is used for these yarns so they feel soft and gentle against the skin. The yarns are worsted spun to produce a yarn that is fine and strong with a silky feel. Very soft and springy, the 4 plies and twist provide extra robustness.

A very versatile yarn, it 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. Takes up the dye well to produce deep, vibrant colours.
