With approximately 900 meters per 100 g, this refined lace-weight merino wool yarn creates elegant, lightweight, breathable fabric with exceptional softness, beautiful drape, and sophisticated fine-gauge texture highly associated with luxury Italian fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a standard thick merino yarn for quick bulky projects. This is a true fine lace-weight merino designed for machine knitting, weaving, crochet, luxury layering garments, companion yarn use, and multi-strand hand knitting.
