Supersoft is a blend of 50% merino wool and 50% shetland wool, and it is perfect for both knitting and crochet. Holst Garn Supersoft is available in a large variety of shades - both solid and melange. The wool is from New Zealand and Australia - all from non-mulesing sources. Supersoft is available in 50 g cake balls - and cones at approx 500 gr. Approximately 287 meters/314 yards per 50 gram Knit with one thread at needles 3-3.5 mm/US 2.5-4 (Approx. 25 stitches = 10 cm/4 inches). Knit with two threads at needles 4-4.5mm/US 6-7 (Approx. 16 stitches = 10 cm/4 inches). You can use a washingmachine - on a cold delicate wool program. Note: Holst Garn Supersoft contains a bit of spinning oil and excess dye. The oil and excess dye will disappear at the first wash - and the yarn will bloom and become softer.
