What colors are available?
Fifteen shades: White, Camel, Pale Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Orange, Pink, Dark Pink, Cranberry, Light Purple, Lavender, Slate Blue, Green, Dark Green, Dark Grey, and Black.

Is merino wool itchy?
No. Merino fibers are much finer than standard wool, which is why it's a favorite for hats, cowls, and baby knits worn against the skin.

Hand wash in cool water with a wool-safe detergent, press out the water without wringing, and dry flat away from direct heat.

How many balls do I need?
A hat or cowl usually takes one to two balls, while a baby blanket needs several. Check your pattern yardage requirement.

Can I use it for crochet as well as knitting?
Yes. It has enough body and stitch definition for crochet, including amigurumi.
