Merino Wool Yarn for Knitting and Crochet (Sky Blue)

Product Description: Merino Wool - A Natural Fiber with Exceptional Properties

Merino wool is a remarkable natural fiber grown by Merino sheep. Compared to regular wool, it is significantly thinner and softer, making it comfortable to wear directly against the skin. This natural fiber offers a multitude of benefits when worn.

The thickness of wool fiber is measured in microns, with the average human hair being approximately 60 microns. Merino fibers typically range from 13-24 microns, categorized as follows:

• Medium Merino (21-26 microns)
• Fine Merino (17.5-21 microns)
• Superfine Merino (15.5-17.5 microns)

Merino wool is composed of proteins made up of amino acids and natural compounds. It is a renewable fiber, with one sheep able to grow four to five pounds of wool per year. This fiber has evolved over time to help sheep thrive in harsh environments, enduring temperatures ranging from 5 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

The key strength of Merino wool is its ability to help regulate body temperature. In cold weather, the natural crimps and bends in its fibers trap air, providing insulation. In warm weather, it quickly transports sweat away from the skin, keeping the wearer cool and dry.

Compared to traditional wool, Merino wool is exceptionally fine and soft. A single Merino fiber is approximately one-third the diameter of a human hair, allowing it to bend out of the way when it comes into contact with the skin, preventing any prickliness.
