Lush, super soft 100% New Zealand Wool, machine washable, on an 8ply DK apprx. 210m/100g.

I love this yarn - a lot, and I’ll tell you why.

It’s a mix of several NZ breeds, including merino, so it’s soft (around 25 microns, with under 30 being considered next to skin soft) yet strong, and is slower to pill than pure merino.

It would make an amazing giant snuggly shawl or an ‘I am living in this’ kind of sweater.
