Wool Knitting Yarn Needle Size 5,5 - 6

The ISPE Senales woolen yarn can be used as knitting yarn, but also as crochet yarn. The yarn feels like a pure ball of wool, but is a combination of 50% merino wool and 50% special acrylic. It is a well-known combination that is often used. Adding acrylic to wool makes the fabric easier to maintain. You can wash this fabric at higher temperatures (hand wash 30°C) than pure wool. The wool also itches less when acrylic is added. The needle size 5 ½ - 6 is recommended. We also offer matching knitting needles and crochet hooks.

What is Combed Yarn?

The yarns are combed (worsted), which means that the yarns are combed before the threads are woven. Combing the yarn removes the small hairs and aligns all the fibers in the same direction. This process makes the wool yarn feel very soft and smooth. Even after washing, the yarn retains its high quality.

Benefits of Merino Wool

Merino wool is popular due to its unique properties. It offers excellent temperature regulation, retaining heat without causing overheating. Additionally, it has a moisture-regulating and absorbent effect, which helps keep the body dry. One of the reasons people appreciate merino wool is that it does not itch. Thanks to its high-density fibers, it feels soft against the skin, preventing irritation and itchiness.
