Info from flyer:
‘The release of our product should not go without reference to the fact that it contains some fleece from the bales that brought a world record price for Merino Wool.
Super Sharlea comes from wool grown on superfine Saxon Merino sheep who are protected from weather and a harsh environment by being especially housed and cared for.
You will not only enjoy knitting with this beautiful yarn, you will produce a garment so soft that it can be worn next to your skin with great comfort and satisfaction.
Super Sharlea is chemically free and has a feeling of softness and luxury that is unique in hand knitting yarns.
To bring out the full softness of this product we recommend that you hand wash your garment before wearing.’
