From the Knitting Notions website:
“An Australian Merino wool yarn in a light worsted to DK weight. It is soft, springy, and silky smooth. It is soft enough for next to skin wear. Perfect for baby and children’s items as well as adults.

This is essentially the same yarn as the Classic Merino Worsted in composition, weight and gauge. The difference is that one ply takes up more dye than the other plies, giving it the twist effect.

Hanks are 4 oz. which is about 280 yds. Recommended gauge is 5 sts. per inch on #7-8 US needles. Hand wash and dry flat as with any wool.“

Note: from Knitting Notions-This yarn is being phased out, but we are still carrying the Classic merino Worsted.
