Alice Rose - Sport weight - Merino Cashmere Nylon

The inspiration for this colourway comes from a range of English Roses.

Sport weight yarn blend consisting of Merino (80%), cashmere (10%) and nylon (10%). This  is a classic yarn blend, with cashmere adding a surprising amount of softness, and nylon contributing strength. It is a Superwash product, which means it can be machine washed at 30'.  It takes the dye really well and colours appear bright and clear. It can be knitted on a few different needle sizes to get a variety of gauges whilst maintaining a beautiful fabric with slightly different properties. 3.25mm needles gives a fabric with softness and a lovely drape, whilst 2.75mm provides more stability whilst maintaining its velvety texture. There are 262m (286yds) per 100g skein.
