If you compare merino with plain wool, you will realize that merino generally consists of softer and finer fibers. It provides a superior structure that Danes are generally very excited about. Merino wool is silky smooth, which makes it very comfortable against the skin. Thus, it is also a quality that is particularly suitable for people with sensitive skin.

If you compare synthetic and merino wools, there is a world different. The natural wool fibers have a much more complex structure. In addition, the natural wool fibers are known to give the clothes a better breathability. Merino wool has excellent insulating properties, so the yarn can naturally regulate the temperature. Yarn quality is particularly suitable for the British climate, where it will be advantageous to choose yarn that can hold on to the body heat. Merino can keep your body warm while keeping it comfortable in the cold. It is therefore a full year's yarn, which will be useful for working on all seasons.

Merino wool is a natural material that is both light, soft and mildly. It is also an odor protection material that provides effective protection against odors. It will be particularly useful on hot summer days or on days when you exercise in one way or another. In addition, merino wool can absorb large amounts of water while keeping you warm.

As you may have figured out, merino wool derived from sheep - or course the breed merino. It is an older race that was first encountered in the Middle Ages. Although many years have passed, it has not meant that yarn quality has become less popular. On the contrary, it is a material that is being sought to a greater extent in the British as well as the foreign market.

It is important to note that merino differs greatly from, among other things, mohair, alpaca and sheep.

If you knit or crochet with merino yarn, you should follow the recommended washing instructions. How it is most appropriate to wash the yarn depends on the quality you have chosen to work with. For this reason, it is worth noting that merino is a sensitive quality that does not necessarily withstand a washer or dryer. If you put the product you have made of the  the washing machine, it must always be done at low temperatures. In this regard, you should choose a fine wash or wool wash at 40º. If you want to be on the safe side, you can wash the wool yarn at 30º. In addition, avoid using rinse aid (all grades are superwash treated) as well as you should dry it flat as far as possible. It is also important that you comply with the recommended knitting gauge. In this regard, it would be best to knit a little too tight
