This DK yarn is a 4-ply yarn of extra fine Merino with a high-twist that results in crisp stitch definition. It is custom-milled to combine the best quality of the raw fiber with a high twist and superwash finish. This base has a great hand-feel and a low tendency to pill. You could work this DK yarn on a range of needle and hook sizes and still get a cozy fabric or work it with a Mohair for extra squishiness! This yarn is great for cables and colorwork, layered pieces and outerwear, a quick baby garment.
