Each skein delivers roughly 270 meters (about 295 yards) and the trio provides about 810 meters (885 yards) total—enough for mid-sized garments like socks, lightweight sweaters, shawls, or multiple accessories. The yarn is hand-painted for unique tonal variations, and its construction resists snagging and fading while remaining pleasant in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this yarn blend special for garments and accessories?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mix of wool, cashmere and polyester gives you both softness and resilience.
