Description:

Superwash Merino Lace is a luxurious, versatile yarn that offers the perfect combination of softness, fine quality, and easy-care functionality. A wonderfully soft, 21-micron merino wool, this lace weight yarn has a generous 800m (874 yds) per 100g hank. Choose this yarn for delicate scarves, shawls and wraps or for weaving projects with a touch of luxury.

If you’re looking for next to the skin softness and a yarn that takes on the dye well, Superwash Merino Lace is the perfect choice. The bright white yarn produces great depth of colour whether you’re creating subtle light shades or bright and vibrant colours. For bright vibrant colours we recommend using acid or natural dyes.

Superwash Merino Lace has a 2/16nm construction. Garments made in this yarn are easy-care thanks to the yarn being specially treated before being spun. This means it can be dyed and machine washed on a wool programme without felting or shrinkage.

Originating from South America, this merino wool is 100% mulesing free. The merino is extremely fine with a natural elasticity which helps a garment stretch yet return back to its original shape. Merino is also a great insulator which helps the body regulate its temperature in both hot and cold conditions.

Superwash Merino Lace is 100% animal fibre and perfect for dyeing. With 800m per skein, many projects will only need one making it great value for money.
