Flocon worsted – Untreated merino wool

Description

Flocon worsted – Untreated merino wool is light, highly breathable, well-twisted, and soft. Use it for your hats, scarves, mittens, or wool sweaters.

Additionally, Flocon is made of 100% extrafine merino, like all our untreated merino wools. It is warmer than washable wools because it has no protective layer surrounding the fiber like treated wool, i.e., “superwash.”

It comes in several yarn weights, for example: Fingering, DK, Worsted, and Aran.

Our yarns are hand-dyed. Therefore, you should plan for the necessary quantity for your projects, as the color can vary from one dye lot to another. We take care to reproduce the color of our images as accurately as possible; however, screen displays may vary. Thus, the color of the skeins you receive may vary slightly from the photo shown. For a more uniform knit, I recommend alternating your skeins.

Care:

You must hand wash your knits made with untreated merino wool. Use minimal agitation at a temperature between 21-25 °C, and lay them flat to dry.
