This base is a fairly new one for us, it is our Fine Superwash Merino Wool, which is a 2 ply, Bulky weight with 115 yards! It is so very soft and soft quite lovely! We are proud to offer you a base, which you can knit or crochet very quickly with!
Fine Merino Wool has the softness, warmth and quality you would expect with luxury yarns. This base has beautiful stitch definition. It's quite a lovely shade, standing on its own, or alongside the other bases in this Collection. As you can see in the photos, these skeins match very nicely with the entire Collection. I particularly love them with another one of our newer bases, our 100% Fine Superwash Merino Wool, Sport Weight base, which has 3 plies. Both of these bases show how you can use the same recipe with natural dyes, and also deliver a similar shade on a very, comparable base. It's quite a beautifu,l soft yellow shade, we think you will love it as much as we do!
Merino Wool is a 100% natural and renewable sustainable resource. It is also biodegradable, organic and environmentally friendly. Recent studies have proven that Fine Merino Wool garments worn next to the skin are a natural remedy against eczema. They act as a second skin and stabilize the "humidity level and the micro climate of the skin surface." They are proven to reduce symptoms such as redness, itch and rash especially in those who suffer from dermatological conditions.
Wonderful projects for our Fine, Merino Wool would be hats, mittens and cowls. The possibilities are honestly endless!
We suggest using a US 10 Knitting Needles and a size 11 Crochet Hook. (This is only a suggestion, everyone's tension varies, please use what is the most comfortable for you!)
All of Sand Castles and Sea Shells Yarns are certified mulesing free.
As with all naturally hand dyed yarns, we recommend hand washing your finished piece, using a PH Balanced Soap such as Mrs. Myer's Clean Day Lavender Laundry.
You may see "shadows" in some photos. We have chosen to leave these on the website, because they show the truest color of the yarn. Please remember each monitor is different and colors may vary from screen to screen.
Should you want another photo, please reach out to us and we will be most happy to help you!
