Enjoy that lucky feeling, when you knit with this soft and airy blend of 90 % extrafine merino wool with 10 % cashmere. What makes this yarn so special, beyond the high quality composition, is an unusual approach to colouring. Rather than dyeing the yarn, the colourfulness has been achieved by printing to produce a distinctive, lively surface which will give your creations a unique character. Apart from the aesthetics, there is also a functional purpose for using this technique, as it helps maintain the loftiness of the yarn.
