An Australian Merino wool yarn in a light worsted aka 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. 4 ply with a tight twist, bouncy and very soft.

Hanks from older dye-lots are 4 oz. which is about 280 yd. We have changed our put up weight to 100g skeins on newer dye-lots, which yield approx. 247 yards. Recommended gauge is 5 to 5.5 st. per inch on #7-8 US needles. Hand wash and dry flat as with any wool.
