Description
Flock - untreated worsted merino wool is light, highly breathable, well twisted and soft. Use for your toques, scarves, mittens or wool sweaters.
In addition, Flocon is made of 100% extra fine merino, in all our untreated merino wools. It is warmer than washable wools because it has not had any protective layer surrounding the fiber like treated wool, i.e. "superwash".
It is available in several yarn weights, for example: Fingering, DK, Worsted and Aran.
Our wools are hand dyed. Therefore, you must plan on the quantity needed for your projects, as the colour may vary from one bath to another. We take great care to reproduce the colour of our images as closely as possible, however, screen displays may vary. Thus the color of the skeins you receive may vary slightly from the photo displayed. For a more uniform knit, I recommend that you alternate your skeins.

Céline Leblanc –
I made a collar out of the worsted unprocessed Merino Wool Flake... it's wonderful to knit and so soft. Lots of advantages, it doesn't move and is super comfortable to wear.
Try this wool right away, your fingers will want more.
Thank you Fibrani for the suggestions of colours and layouts. This wool was made to order so you can get incredible combinations.
Talk to Annie... she knows her wools.
