This is a strong, lustrous 3-ply yarn that is not trying to pass for Merino! It is smooth, crisp, resistant to pilling, is hard-wearing and has a noticeable sheen. While it’s tough and excellent for socks (use a tight gauge and please hand wash), it’s great for just about any project as it continues to soften nicely with time and wear. Its drape and fine hand come through beautifully in sweaters and shawls.

Try it on a lace project and you’ll be thrilled with the results as it has great stitch definition and responds very well to blocking.

Although it is superwash treated, PLEASE hand wash and dry flat to prolong the life of your beautiful garments.
