Polwarth is a breed that comprises 25% Lincoln and 75% Merino. It rivals Merino in softness, though with the addition of Lincoln, this wool has a longer staple, more lustre and is stronger. It can be worn right next to the skin.

Although I recommend hand-washing to prolong the life of your knits, this yarn may be machine washed on a gentle wool cycle, then laid flat to dry.

As with other hand dyed yarns, I would recommend alternating skeins every two rows or so.
