This is a lovely yarn; I unfortunately over ordered & can't return, so hopefully someone else can enjoy it. mid pink/cerise (rosewood) 6 x 50gm (each ball is 350metres) balls available this is a 2ply yarn: 55% merino lambswool & 45% cotton using one thread: 2.5 - 3mm needles using 2 threads: 4 - 5mm needles wash machine, cold delicate/wool programe....yarn becomes extremely soft after first wash which removes a little spinning oil & excess dye. I used 2 balls of this wool to knit a 3 year olds jumper using 2 balls together.
