| A lovely yarn from the Queensland Collection. A blend of 40% extrafine merion wool, 30% microfiber, 20% milk protein, 10% silk. Yes, you read right. It has milk protein. For the milk protein to be made into a state that can be made into yarn, first it has to be dehydrated, and then extracted. It is then made into a slurry and blended with other fibres such as the wool and silk. Ever dream of taking a milk bath? This isn't quite the same thing but the 20% milk protein combined with the silk gives an incredibly soft yarn that's a dream to have next to your skin. Suitable for baby clothes, scarves, sweaters, whatever you would like to make. Yardage is 109 yds/50g ball Gauge is 5sts/in on size 7 needles. Hand wash, dry flat. |
