Created as a fabulous companion to Filatura's Superior yarn, laceweight "Nirvana" is blissfully soft and sensationally crafted in Italy of 100% extrafine mercerized superwash merino wool. The mercerizing, superwash process has made luscious merino softer than ever -- something we didn't think possible -- and is a fabulous lightweight addition to the Filatura merino collection. "Nirvana" knits up and crochets sensationally teamed up with "Superior" (check out hues dyed to go together) or by itself as a laceweight wonder in scarves, shawls, really any lacy creation. Add that "Nirvana" is wound in generous 372-yard balls, and you have a great option for your open-weave projects.
