It is hand-spun from 100 % extra fine merino wool 18,5 microns from Italy. It is the best & premium merino quality in a market known for its extra softness & silkiness. Extra fine merino wool tops come from both Australia & South America to Italy & are carefully selected to ensure constant high quality. All lots are MULESING FREE. It is a single ply, popular roving type yarn with a slight twist. Merino yarn goes through all necessary stages from fiber preparation to a spinning on a spinning wheel & washing to make lightly felted. This helps to fix the form of the yarn & get smooth textured surface with a unique look & soft feel. It allows knitwear to be more practical, prevents pilling & shedding. CARE: Specialized dry cleaning once a season is recommended. Gentle hand wash (with a cool water, without any agitation, lay flat to dry) is also available for small size. But note that the garment will be very heavy to wash it by hands. Washing machine is also possible (using cold water only, delicate/wool cycle, without agitation, air dry only). But note that washing in a machine will make yarn thinner, harder to touch, some softness will be lost.
