Hobart Wool Co's Pure Merino Machine Washable Wool is made from 100 per cent pure merino wool for superior softness, comfort, warmth, stretch, and breathability. Our yarn does not hold odour and can be washed by hand or by machine, making it perfect for everyday use.

Forest Floor is hand-dyed in Tasmania and expertly blends forest greens, earth deep browns, and dusty greys to create a highly variegated yet subtly beautiful yarn.

Uses:
- 8 Ply/DK Weight: sturdy yet flexible and oh so soft, this yarn is ideal for use in heavier jumpers, blankets, cosy beanies and hats, and thick socks.
- 4 Ply/Fingering Weight: silky soft with a gorgeous drape, our 4 Ply range is perfect for use in shawls, scarves, and cowls, as well as in socks, baby clothes, and other lighter-weight garments and accessories.
Yarn Weight: Available in 8 Ply/DK Weight and 4 Ply/Fingering Weight.
Unit Weight: 100 grams per skein (approx).

- 8 Ply/DK Weight: 180 metres (196 yards) per skein (approx).
