Holst Supersoft yarn has bags of character, and that beautiful sheepy scent that so many of us love!And although it's called "Supersoft", wool-sensitive people might find it not-soft-enough right next to the skin. For a "real wool" in the Shetland bracket, this one is definitely one of the softest, and it really does soften with washing.Try it held together with a Silk Mohair - it's spectacular! And because it's on the thinner end of "4Ply-Fingering", the combo might give you the perfect gauge.All wool is from non-mulesing sources.We also stock Holst Coast (which is actually much softer!).All “Sale” items are non-returnable.
