Kid Merino

Crystal Palace Kid Merino is a lace weight, fingering weight blend
of Kid Mohair, Merino wool and microfiber Nylon and can be knit in a variety of ways:
as a lace weight fingering yarn, doubled at a DK-worsted gauge
or use it as a knit-along yarn with any other yarn to add softness and texture.
A little goes a long way - 240 yds/25 gram ball
