A gentle luster, a smart spin and a sumptuous drape make Purl Soho's Mulberry Merino a truly classic fiber. This sportweight blend of extrafine merino and mulberry silk is at once special and basic. We especially love the depth and richness the silk lends to the color, as well as its three-season weight. Use Mulberry Merino for gorgeous sweaters, soft and elegant scarves, beautiful hats and heirloom baby gear! (P.S. If you notice that the gauge and suggested needle sizes for Mulberry Merino are different than they used to be, don't worry the yarn has not changed! We've just refined our thinking a little...)
