Tropical Waters - GOTS Certified 100% Fine Organic Merino Wool/ Sport Weight Base

This lovely color is on our GOTS Certified 100% Organic Fine Merino Wool,  Sport Weight base.  It has 3 plies and 6 wpi.  There are approximately 330 yards per skein.  This gorgeous base has a micron count of 21.5, which means it’s just a bit more fabulously soft than most other merino yarns!  (A lower micron number means a finer fiber.  Merino Wool is one of the finest, next to our Lambswool bases, and can measure anywhere from 15 to 25 microns.  Other wool varies in micron, this depends on the breed, health and age of the sheep.)  In the third photo the bases are as follows, from left to right, Fingering, Sport, Alpaca and Bulky.   Merino Wool is great for knitting pieces which will provide warmth, without being too hot.  It also has moisture wicking qualities which will keep your piece dry to the touch. Merino Wool is also hypoallergenic, which is beneficial for allergy and asthma suffers.     Merino Wool is a 100% natural and renewable sustainable resource.  It is also biodegradab
