Additional information: Merino: Merino sheep produce one of the best and highest quality types of wool - merino wool. It provides warmth in cold weather, as the crimped structure of the wool fibers traps a lot of air and thus acts as an insulator. Merino wool is also soft, lightweight, and very elastic. Notably, merino wool does not itch. These properties make it the preferred wool for clothing textiles.

Easy-Start System: An innovation from Schachenmayr puts an end to the search for the yarn end. The special feature is that the beginning of the ball is secured with a glue dot on the label. This allows the yarn to be picked up directly for knitting without having to search for the label's beginning first.
