Superwash Merino is everywhere. It seems to be the gateway yarn when you're moving from box store acrylic to natural fibers. It's extremely soft, takes dye spectacularly, and is easy to care for. What makes ours different? It's made in the United States. The wool is grown here, processed here, Superwash treated here, milled and spun here. No supply chain issues and a lower carbon footprint. What could be better? Since Superwash Merino is such a staple in the fiber world, our Hadley yarns are named after a street in Holly that has it all too - direct access into town, well-loved homes, and local businesses. The DK version of this yarn is spun as a 2-ply to showcase that gorgeous Merino bounce. At 22 microns, it is the softest yarn in our flock, and this construction has a squish factor that can't be beat! Description: Extra poofy 2-ply DK weight yarn. Knits beautifully at 5.5 stitches to the inch, but also makes excellent lighter weight items knit at worsted gauge (5 stitches per inch). Great for sweaters, shawls, baby items - anything that can’t have any itch and needs easy care. 100% Superwash Merino Wool 2-ply DK / Light (3) 230 yards / 100 grams, skeined Undyed Source: Chargeurs USA, SC Softness: Next-to-skin Crunchiness: Minimal Knitting Gauge: 5-6 stitches per inchCrochet Gauge: 3-4.25 single crochets per inch Care: Machine wash gentle and tumble dry low, BUT hand wash/dry flat is recommended for its best life!
