This yarn was marketed as a 1/15NM single yarn under the brand Shiny Cotton, its actually a mix of 45% cotton, 20% viscose, 15% merino, 15% angora and 5% cashmere… which means it is very soft, but also quite strong and crisp, with a sheen as well as a bit of a halo… amazing really.. and the cotton and viscose give deep colors.. we had three strands twisted up by our friendly mill in Yorkshire to make this balanced fingering weight yarn.
