Merino Wool is the softest of the sheep wools. Merino sheep fleece is not barbed like other sheep breeds. Merino wool has become extremely popular with artists that like to create garments out of wool. An added bonus is that individuals that are sensitive to wool can often tolerate Merino wool.
Each skein have enough yardage (437 yds) to make a whole shawl. Make a hat, mitts, and a cowl to match and have some left over for a shawlette! The color display this yarn gives is magical and reminiscent of poppies or African violets. One of the prettiest patterns for this yarn is the simple Hitchhiker shawl available on Ravelery. <>
