Burgundy Superfine cobweb lace weight 2/30s 100% Merino Wool Yarn 100g cone

Burgundy 2/30s Superfine 100% Merino Wool Yarn 100g cone for hand and machine knitting

These exquisite 2/30s superfine merino yarns are crafted with unparalleled expertise, reflecting the renowned precision and artistry of Italian spinning. Made from 100% merino wool, they offer a luxurious softness, exceptional drape, and a smooth texture ideal for fine knitting and delicate projects.

One of the unique joys of this yarn is its versatility when used with multiple strands. A single strand creates an airy, lightweight fabric perfect for lacework, shawls, and summer garments. Holding two strands together produces a slightly denser fabric with better warmth, akin to fingering weight yarn, suitable for layering pieces and baby clothes. Using three strands creates a fabric comparable to sport or light 4 ply weight, making it ideal for hats, scarves, or light sweaters. For even thicker projects, such as cozy blankets or chunky knits, four or more strands can be combined, providing the freedom to craft precisely the weight and texture you need for any project.

This adaptability makes the yarn an excellent choice for knitters and crocheters who enjoy experimenting with gauge and texture while maintaining the luxurious feel and finish of superfine merino wool.
