Unlike other shops where cone costs are often built into the yarn price—regardless of the format—our pricing is transparent. You pay only for the yarn itself. If you’d like your order wound on a cone, it can be purchased separately. This small additional charge also helps cover the shipping cost associated with different packaging sizes and the self-cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

✨ Texture & Feel:

🧶 A Note from the Knitter
Due to its extreme fineness, this yarn is most commonly used by holding multiple strands together (or on a knitting machine). Once knit and washed, the merino fibers bloom to increase the fabric's loft and warmth while revealing their renowned silky softness.

🧶 Recommended Use:
This is a very fine yarn, highly recommended for being held with multiple threads to achieve a wearable gauge.
• Baby & Kids Wear: Extremely great for babies and kids knitwear due to the supreme, non-irritating softness and breathability of Extra Fine Merino.
• Garments: Excellent for lightweight base layers, fine sweaters, and delicate shawls.
• Machine Knitting: Ideal for industrial and domestic machine knitting due to its smooth, multi-ply construction.
• Stitch Patterns: Perfect for showcasing complex lace patterns or providing a light, smooth canvas for colorwork when knit in 3 or 4 strands.

🧶 Knitting with Multiple Strands
• This yarn is most effectively used when held with other strands to create a working weight:
• 3 Threads: Creates a Fingering weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 450m (492yd) per 100g.
• 4 Threads: Creates a Sport weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 337m (369yd) per 100g.
• 5 Threads: Creates a Light DK weight yarn with an approximate yardage of 270m (295yd) per 100g.

🧶Recommendations for Weaving:
This yarn is an excellent choice for both warp and weft, provided it is properly sized. Its strength and fine gauge allow for high-density fabrics, while the Merino fiber ensures a soft hand and luxurious drape in the finished woven cloth.

🧶Recommended Needles & Hooks (Based on 3-Ply Knitting):
• Knitting Needles (3-Ply Fingering): 2.5–3.5 mm (US 1.5–4)
- The recommended gauge for knitting with three threads is 24–28 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch.
- Use 2.5mm needles for a denser fabric.
- Use 3.5mm needles for a softer, more draped fabric.
• Crochet Hooks (3-Ply Fingering): 2.5–3.5 mm (C-2 to E-4)

📏 Estimated Usage (Based on 3-Ply Fingering Knit):
• Sweater (M): 350–450g (1575–2025m / 1722–2214 yd)
• Shawl: 100–150g (1350–2025m / 1476–2214 yd)
• Scarf: 100g (1350m / 1476 yd)

📍 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight

📍 Please note:
Most yarn prepared on cones for machine knitting is lightly waxed to ensure smooth running. Once knit, it should be washed to reveal its true softness. This yarn is perfect for both hand and machine knitting, highly recommended for creating premium-quality knitwear.

📸 Please Note:
• The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
• Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the beauty and texture of the yarn.
• ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to the winding process.
• Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
