This gorgeous 100% Falkland fine merino laceweight is oh so soft and squishy! The yarn is a twisted single ply and is spun at a family owned mill in Yorkshire. The Merino sheep is highly prized for having a beautiful, fine and soft fleece. Merino wool has the quality of regulating the temperature of the wearer by providing warmth, whilst drawing moisture away from the skin. I recommend that your finished projects are hand-washed gently in cool water.
