It has a particularly warming effect in cold weather, as the crimped structure of the wool fibres traps a lot of air and therefore has an insulating effect. Merino wool is also soft, light and very elastic. A particularly positive aspect is that merino wool is not itchy. These properties make it the preferred wool for clothing textiles.Easy-Start-SystemAn innovation from Schachenmayr puts an end to searching for yarn. The special feature here is that the start of the skein is attached to the banderole with an adhesive dot. This means that the yarn can be picked up directly for knitting without first having to search for the start of the band.
