DUO contains 55% merino wool and 45% cotton. Soft as cotton and warm as wool! This yarn is suitable for knitting and/or crocheting garments for all age groups, a very pleasant all year-round quality. Great alternative to those who think wool itches. The Merino wool is from South America where Mulesing does not occur. Our suppliers guarantee that the tops we buy do not come from sheep that have been subjected to Mulesing. Meters per ball = 124.
