LOVIS is always good for an exciting surprise. Each ball is unique. Then there is the unbelievably soft handle, because of the extrafine 19.5 micron merino. Mulesing-free, of course. And last, but not least, the lax twist which gives this wick yarn volume and a fleecy-soft effect.
Merino sheep create a wool with a long, smooth fibre that is lightweight, warm, and soft. Like all wool, it has excellent breathability and does an excellent job regulating temperature in garments. It is a very popular type of wool to use for hand knitting yarn, and is a great choice for socks and garments worn close to the skin.
