Not to be confused with “superwash”, it will full easily and is perfect for felting effects. If you don’t want felting and shrinkage, hand wash in cool water or dry clean.

15,000 m/kg / 7,440 yds/lb 19 wpc / 48 wpi This merino has a lovely soft and silky feel, and has been treated so that it is machine-washable on a wool cycle. Not one to use if you want to felt it!
