Additional Information: Merino: Merino sheep produce one of the best and highest quality types of wool - merino wool. It provides warmth in cold weather due to the crimped structure of the wool fibers, which traps a lot of air and thus acts as an insulator. 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 eliminates the hassle of finding the yarn end. The special feature is that the beginning of the ball is secured with a adhesive dot on the band. This allows the yarn to be picked up directly for knitting without having to search for the band end first.
