Ultrafine merino is as fine as cashmere and is the finest grade of merino commercially available. Only 3.5% of merino fibre in the world is fine enough to be graded as ultrafine.This batch of merino is not only ultra-soft, but also long staple for added strength and less pilling. Mulberry silk has been added for drape and lustre and some cashmere for that fuzzy halo only cashmere can provide.
The yarn has 2 plies and a medium twist. This combination allows room for the cashmere fibres to bloom and the merino fibres to plump up and support them. It is ideal for lace as the 2 plies roll away from each other to open up the lacework and reveal the pattern.
