Description: This 100% merino superwash wool seduces with its delicate nuances that unfold in a single skein. Soft to the touch and pleasant to knit, it is just as well suited to shawls and scarves as to sweaters and other cozy projects. Easy to care for thanks to its superwash fiber, it reveals all its beauty during blocking, highlighting stitches and textures.
As each skein is hand-dyed, slight variations are normal, even within the same color. For a harmonious result, we recommend alternating your skeins as you knit.
This product is sold in skeins. If you would like it wound, please indicate this in the comments when you place your order.

Description: This luxurious fiber is a blend of 47% super kid mohair, 31% fine Superwash Merino and 22% polyamide. It is very light and gives a very sophisticated effect, whether knitted alone or with another yarn. Ideal for small garments such as shawls and tank tops, this delicate wool is available in a range of colors.
To preserve the softness and luster of your wool, we recommend hand-washing. This not only guarantees its durability, but also its original appearance over time. What's more, this wool blossoms during blocking, making it the perfect choice for your next creations.
