Additional Information:

Merino:
Merino sheep produce one of the best and highest quality types of wool - merino wool. It provides warmth in cold weather due to the crimped structure of the wool fibers, which 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 eliminates the hassle of finding the yarn end. The special feature is that the beginning of the ball is secured with a glue dot on the band. This allows the yarn to be picked up directly for knitting without having to search for the beginning of the band first.
