Two plies are twisted tightly together to produce a very soft and springy yarn. The two plies with a high twist make the yarn slightly bumpy which helps the strands of yarn hold together against each other making it great for colourwork and lace work.
Extrafine (19.5 micron) merino wool makes this yarn soft and bouncy for next to skin comfort. While I don’t normally advocate or use synthetic fibres, a little nylon is added for the extra durabilty and machine washability that is needed for hard wearing socks.
There may be slight variations in tone and shade between skeins, this is part of the process and unique beauty of hand dyeing. I recommend buying enough for your project when ordering and alternating rows from each skein when joining.
