MAIDEN is a custom milled, 2-ply twist fingering-weight blend of superwash merino and nylon. A squishy yarn with rich, vibrant colors and great gauge versatility.

Merino wool is known for its softness, shine and breathability. It ranges in different types, measured by microns which are used to determine the diameter of the wool fiber. The smaller the number, the finer the fiber. Merino is a durable and naturally insulating fiber. 

This merino is superwash which keeps the fibers from felting and takes dye easily creating saturated, vibrant colors. The addition of nylon gives the superwash merino more elasticity and durability, making it a great option for socks. It also a favorite for shawls and colorwork sweaters.

    Fiber Content: 90% superwash merino / 10% nylon

    Weight: Fingering

    Weight/ Yardage:  100 g / 400 yds / 365 m

    Country of Origin: Sourced from Argentina and Uruguay from farms that do not practice mulesing

    Machine-washable - great for socks

    The garment should be washed separately. For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
