FAQs
Can I felt this fiber?
No. Superwash Merino is designed to resist felting. For felting projects, choose our non-superwash Undyed Merino or Corriedale.
What spinning approach works best?
Spin from the end of the top for sleek worsted yarns, or spin from the fold/split strips for a softer semi-worsted hand.
How should I care for finished items?
Machine wash on gentle in cool water with a wool-safe detergent. Lay flat to dry for best shape retention.
