Tosh Merino is a gorgeous single-ply, 100% merino wool yarn, with a generous 210 yards per skein. The rustic, handspun look to this yarn is so distinctive in the finished fabric. Working up at a versatile worsted gauge tosh merino is perfect for sweater and accessory projects. each squishy soft skein is hand-dyed in small dye lots and so very soft to the touch.
Bought the Americana on WW and knitted a hat for a friend. Soaked it in cold water with white vinegar to set the colors before mailing and it stretched out until it was huge on me-had been a little tight prior to that. There was no bleeding of colors in the cold soak-but then tried to shrink it to original size in hot water and it bled terribly and also would not shrink. It seemed that the loose twist straightened out once it was in water and did not return to the original after drying. So this is a cautionary tale-would not use it on anything that has to fit.
