YARN DETAILS - Our jumbo yarn is 100% handmade. It is hand-spun from 100 % extra fine merino wool 18,5 microns from Italy. It is the best and premium merino quality in a market known for its extra softness and silkiness. It is a single ply, popular roving type yarn with a slight twist. Merino yarn goes through all necessary stages from fiber preparation to a spinning on a spinning wheel and washing to make it lightly felted. This helps to fix the form of the yarn and get smooth textured surface with a unique look and soft feel. It allows knitwear to be more practical, prevents pilling and shedding. It is easier to knit with lightly felted yarn than with unfelted wool.

CARE – Tender hand wash is possible for small items (beanie, scarf, cowl). Cool water, no agitation, lay flat to dry. Specialized dry cleaning once a season is recommended for big pieces (sweaters, blankets). Washing machine is also possible (using cold water only, delicate/wool cycle, without agitation, air dry only). But note that washing in a machine will make yarn thinner, harder to touch, some softness will be lost.

great product, always come back to purchase

Hsu Pyei Feb 14, 2022

Updated review: I’m not a fan of the selected carrier choice bc it is the slowest ever and they provide misinformation. Outside of that the seller is nice and communicates well. Thank you! This wool yarn by far meets my expectations!! No smell and super soft and sturdy! The weight was a little off, not in full. Overall, great product and I would recommend
