Additional information:
Merino sheep provide one of the best and highest quality types of wool - merino wool. It is particularly warming in cold weather, as the crimped structure of the wool fibers traps a lot of air, providing insulation. Merino wool is also soft, lightweight, and very elastic. Notably, 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 hassle of finding the yarn end. The special feature is that the ball's starting point is secured with a glue dot on the band. This allows the yarn to be picked up for knitting directly, without having to search for the band’s starting point first.
