A soft, single ply 100% super wash merino yarn. Extra fine (19.5 micron) merino is used to give a plump, silky yarn with a pearly lustre. The main factor determining the quality of merino wool is its softness which depends upon the fineness of the fibres. Extra fine results in a super soft yarn that feels gentle against the skin.
