MERINOH! 2-Ply: Approximately 115g/420 yards superwash merino wool. This is a 2-ply fingering weight yarn and it’s unbelievably soft at 17 microns.
These were kettle-dyed a tonal rusty red-brown (it’s orange-ish brownish pinkish red-ish!) then speckled and splotched through the water with orange, red, brown and a few specks of violet. Due to the speckling and streaking no two hanks are the same. Please alternate if using more than one. Note the photos are of a different base but reasonably represent the colourway.
This two-ply fingering yarn is smooth, VERY soft and satiny, providing great stitch definition. With only two plies it gives an almost pebbly-looking stockinette fabric. Great for baby wear, sweaters and accessories, it blocks well and is suitable for lacy and cabled projects, too - though it wouldn’t be my first choice for socks.
While this is superwash, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
