Worsted Tweed 4 oz Yarn (Seashell)

The yarn is a worsted weight three ply Merino/Rambouillet wool with cherry red, green and yellow flecks from acrylic and rayon bits. The yarn has a light peach background. It reminds us of seashells on the beach - hence its name. It is so lovely, we decided not to dye it.  The Merino and Merino/Rambouillet wool from the Shaniko Wool Co. is incredibly soft and squishy with a micron count of 21.  The wool has been gently washed and is NOT superwashed. The resulting yarn is a dream to work with.  It's soft to the touch, plump, and perfect for next to skin wear with excellent stitch definition!
