The yarn has very long color runs allowing spectacular striping effects! Soft, spectacular and beautiful, Supersoft Merino is a self striping wool that isn't scratchy and is actually yummy to touch and wear!

Supersoft Merino comes in generous 100 grams skeins with 217 yards (200 m) per 3.5 ozs (100g) skein on a recommended needle US 7-8 (4.5 - 5 mm). Try some today and you won't be disappointed!

This single ply yarn is perfect for felting, perhaps the easiest felting yarn we have ever used. The Sausalito Felted Hat pattern is a dream to make and felt in this luscious wool. The Sausalito hat is all about fun. Fun to knit, and quick, and fun to wear! This stylish felted hat is knit from the top down and is made from one skein of self striping feltable yarn. Easy to knit we used just one 100 gram skein of Supersoft Merino by Acacia Yarns. For an even more personalized hat decorate with felted flowers or other embellishments. Shown in Superwash Merino Colorway 480.

Some recent reactions to this yarn - 1) Oh, this is really soft! 2) Wow, great colors! 3) Mmmm.... how many do you have in this color? I need enough for a sweater. Oh, and that color too... I will figure out what to make later... wow, this is really soft. (I think she is in love :)

Happy Fibering!
