The main factor for determining the quality of merino wool is its softness which depends upon the fineness of the fibers. Extrafine merino (19.5 microns) is some of the finest commercially available for hand dyers. This results in a super soft yarn that feels gentle against the skin.   Care Instructions____________________________________________________________________ Machine wash, gentle cycle, use mild detergent, do not bleach, dry flat away from direct sunlight.   Hand-dyed in Fort Worth, Texas
