Sandes Garn - Sunday - 7772 Rain ForestThe perfect base yarn: a thin, non superwash treated yarn that can be knitted with single and double strands. Merino wool is not only insulating, but also wicks moisture away from the body and retains heat even when moist, thanks to the structure of the fibers. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in water before it starts to feel wet.
