Westie is a plump, and very soft merino yarn, with a soft, two-plied twist that gives it the perfect amount of bounce and drape. This lush, wool yarn is great for next to skin projects, warm accessories, blankets and chunky sweaters.
It cables well, and knits up quickly. It's superwash treated so it takes dye in a vibrant way and is safe to wash on a gentle wool cycle.
Two skeins will make a hat, three will knit a wonderful scarf, and we used five for a medium sized vest. If you'd like a super soft, and warm jumper, purchase 10 to 12 for a cropped, medium size.
We love it for the Sunday Sweater especially when held double with a strand of our Kid Mohair and Silk yarn, Mint
We hope you enjoy working with Westie, knowing all of our merino yarns are mulesing free, and the milling is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified.
