This is a sumptuous fingering MSC that is Mericash Lux Sport’s little sister… The yarn is round and solid, very soft and has great stitch definition and drape. The silk adds a lovely sheen and the cashmere that extra bit of softness. It is appropriate for just about any fingering weight garment you care to knit and feels wonderful next-to-skin. It’s a dense yarn and a little slippery, so if you’re making a sweater be sure to do an adequately sized swatch for gauge - you may want to go down a needle size.

While the Merino wool in this base is superwash treated, please hand wash and air dry your garments for a long, beautiful life.
