What is Merino wool?
Merino wool is known all over the
world as the finest softest sheep wool.
What is superwash wool?
Superwash is a process in which the wool fibers are smoothed so that you
can put them in the washing machine and dryer. There are several
ways that this can be done. (with a coating, or by using acid, or both).
This makes the yarn, not only machine washable, but also non-itchy.
A super wash merino wool is extremely comfortable to wear and can be
used for baby clothes or next-to-the-skin wear.
What is the difference
between your hand dyed yarn, hand paint yarn, and knit paint yarn? My hand dyed yarn is normally dyed in the pot, either by
sections or dip-dyeing the whole skein for a solid effect. The hand paint and knit paint yarns are done by my daughter and
she paints the dye on the skeins or knitted tubes in small sections.
Normally the sections are 1 - 2". It's a much longer process doing
it this way.

Now, another thing to note is that the patterns will vary
according to how wide you are knitting and how tightly or loosely you knit.But this will give you an idea of the difference between our Hand dyed,
Hand Paint and Knit Painted yarns.
