Additional information:
Merino sheep provide one of the best and highest quality types of wool - merino wool. It is particularly warming in cold conditions, as the crimped structure of the wool fibers traps a lot of air, thus providing insulation. Merino wool is also soft, lightweight, and very elastic. A particularly positive aspect is that merino wool does not itch. These properties make it the preferred wool for clothing textiles.

Easy-Start System: An innovation from Schachenmayr puts an end to the search for the yarn end. The special feature is that the beginning of the ball is secured with a glue dot on the band. This allows the yarn to be picked up directly for knitting without having to first search for the beginning of the band.
