Soft, floofy and fuzzy in all the right ways. Brushed Merino adds a cozy halo and a touch of texture to anything you knit, and because it's superwash merino, it's a great pick if mohair hasn't worked for you. Every color is dyed to match a Color Bar shade, so it slides right in next to your Fingering or DK like it was made for it. Because it was.
All the Softness, None of the Itch
No itch
Soft superwash merino is happy to sit right against your neck and wrists, even if mohair has always made you scratch.
No shedding
The halo stays on your sweater instead of drifting onto your couch, your coat and your coffee.
A kid silk mohair alternative
Pattern calls for a strand of kid silk mohair? Reach for this instead to add a soft, fuzzy halo and a little texture. It's a look all its own, with a full 100g in every skein.
