This very soft fingering weight yarn has been brushed to give it a distinct fuzzy texture. Consequently it knits or crochets up more like a Sport weight yarn. There is 200m in each 50g ball, so it goes a long way. It is 75% superwash, superfine Merino wool and 25% Nylon, meaning it is strong and can also be machine washed at up to 30 degrees centigrade.
