Description
The main factor determining the quality of merino wool is its softness which depends upon the fineness of the fibres. We use extrafine merino (19.5 microns) which is some of the finest commercially available for hand dyers. This results in a supersoft yarn that feels gentle against the skin.

The silver lurex retains its strength and shine through the dyeing process and is well plied with the wool, making it a pleasure to work with.

Lurex is a metal thread so please do not microwave.
