What Makes This Yarn So Soft?

A Yarn's softness is determined by the fineness of its fibers. This base features extrafine merino wool measuring just 19.5 microns (among the finest commercially available) resulting in an incredibly soft yarn that feels gentle against the skin.

How To Care For Your Yarn

We recommend gently hand washing your makes in cold water to keep them looking their best. After washing, reshape your item and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface to air dry. This method helps preserve the vibrant colors and softness of the yarn.

Understanding Color Differences

We strive for color consistency across batches, but due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn, color variations may occur, even within the same dye bath. Monitor and screen settings may also affect how colors appear. For multi-skein projects, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows.
