100% Merino Wool

Composed of 100% long and fine merino fibres (21 microns) which give it an exceptionally soft touch, AUBUSSON yarn is part of family NÉOUX - GUÉRET - AUBUSSON - FELLETIN (names of villages and towns around the Spinning Mill in Creuse).
It is characterized by a double assembly of 8x2 strands, with a fairly strong torsion and a medium tension, which give it resistance, elasticity and swelling. Thanks to these characteristics, this fairly dense and thick yarn sculpts the shadows and the reliefs, and gives the works a marked graphic aspect which accentuates the patterns and the thicknesses. Available in a very wide range of colours, it is machine washable at 30°, no spin; drying flat is recommended.
