Double Sunday occupies a useful middle ground: merino that's still straightforward to care for. Because it has not undergone traditional superwash treating, it retains a lot more of the natural elasticity and softness of merino yarn, but the eco-friendly easy care treatment means it's still safe to wash on a gentle cool cycle. A good choice when you want the feel of natural merino without the limpness that superwash treatment can sometimes introduce.
indulgent fibres with excellent manners
Double sunday is a yarn that we would categorize as a polite hedonist. A polite hedonist loves luxury but keeps its manners. These yarns are made from indulgent fibres that feel wonderful to work with and create soft, wearable fabrics: luxury that behaves itself beautifully.
Still worth a proper introduction: swatch before committing, especially when substituting. And when it comes time to wash, treat finished pieces gently so the fibres can stay at their best.
