Wool Star is a beautiful hand-dyed merino wool yarn. The extreme softness and bouncy feel comes from its unique construction, which consists of 4 pairs of individual plies, making for a total of eight strands that showcase the bold colours perfectly. Because there are no dye lots, we recommend buying enough yarn to complete a project. To achieve an overall blended effect, knit two rows from one skein and then two rows from another. 100% Fine Superwash Merino Wool Weight: Fingering (14 wpi) Yardage 382 yards (349 meters) Unit weight 100 grams (3.53 ounces) Gauge 30.0 sts = 4 inches Needle size US 4 - 6 or 3.5 - 4mm Hook size 3mm - 3.5mm (E) Fibers 100% Wool - Merino Texture plied Machine wash? yes Attributes Care: Dry Flat, Hand Wash, Superwash Color: Tonal Dye: Hand dyed Put up: Winding required Yarn origin Dyed: Turkey
