Hand spun 68% Merino wool/32% angora, this yarn is snuggle-y and super soft. This is the kind of yarn you pick up & want to rub on your face...(don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about - I've seen you). One ply I have left the natural & beautiful silvery grey of the blended fibers, the other ply is 100% Merino I dyed a range of shades from cobalt to seafoam, pale jade and sky blue. The angora blend fiber used is from a family run farm in MA.

in a lengthwise knit scarf or other loosely knit project as they are made from the same batch of roving.

This yarn is quite thick & thin and could be knit at a variety of gauges. I think it would probably be best at 2.5 sts/inch or less to really show the texture.

This skein is approximately 90 yds/82 m ~4.5 oz/128 g
