MERILIN is a 3 ply yarn with a mixture of wool and linen. As the yarn is 3 ply, it is really nice in structured knitting. At the same time, it is a soft yarn, which can be used by many people who otherwise cannot tolerate wool. The linen fiber lays like a smooth fiber over the wool yarn and at the same time helps to give a nice play of color in the yarn. The yarn is good for children's clothes and for those who find it difficult to wear wool on their bodies.
