A 100% superwash merino wool yarn that is a great sock yarn. It is a 2-ply construction with a very tight twist, which results in more durability and good stitch definition. An excellent choice for baby garments because it is machine washable and fine gauges are so lovely for baby knits while remaining fairly quick small projects. It washes up very soft for next to the skin garments.This yarn is also great for lace knitting and sweaters.

100g skeins of approx. 430 yds.
Recommended gauge 7-9 stitches per inch on size 0-2 needles
You should knit socks at a tighter gauge for increased durability. This is a 2 ply, very tight twist but very soft after washing
One skein should be enough for an average adult pair of socks
