This soft, smoothly-plied, lightweight sock yarn is made of merino wool. At the same time, it is treated to make it machine washable for easy care. It is ideal for knitting scarves, shawls, clothes, gloves and, of course, socks.This yarn is hand dyed. The colors shown on photos are therefore illustrated only and may differ by more or less of one tone. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at a time, alternating several rows from each ball.
