Two plies are twisted tightly together to produce a very soft and springy yarn that is great for colourwork and lace patterns.
Extrafine (19.5 micron) merino wool makes this yarn soft and bouncy for next to skin comfort. While I don’t normally advocate or work with synthetic fibres, a little nylon is added for the extra durabilty and machine washability that is needed for hard wearing socks.
