This superwash merino is very soft and lightly springy and can be used in a variety of projects. You will get good stitch definition and will weave into a smooth scarf too. The superwash effect means it won't felt, however, I do have other yarns which do felt.
This colors on this yarn is the result of an experimental dye process. As such, I only have this one dyelot to offer. However, I really like it and if you agree, I will consider doing more of this color in the future. The dye has been thoroughly set in the process, however some colors may bleed (it may turn the water a pale color) in the first couple of washes. This should be very minimal since I take all precautions to minimize this effect.

Wash in warm water by hand; reshape and lay flat to dry. Be sure to set your yarn in warm soapy water with no agitation. Rinse thoroughly and block if desired. This fiber WILL felt. Want to see the tutorials I have for spinning beautiful art batts like this one?:
