Ashford Merino Double Knit is a premium 100% merino wool DK-weight yarn engineered for softness, durability, and exceptional stitch definition. Manufactured by Ashford Wheels & Looms (New Zealand), this yarn features a high-twist, multi-ply construction that significantly reduces pilling while maintaining a light, airy hand.
Eight finely spun merino singles are plied in pairs and then plied again, resulting in a sleek, balanced yarn that performs beautifully across a wide range of knitting projects - from delicate baby garments to long-wearing adult apparel, accessories, blankets, and shawls.
This yarn is machine washable, making it a practical yet luxurious choice for everyday wear and heirloom projects alike.
