F&N 8ply 100% SRS Merino - Nightshade

Grown by Great Southern Yarns, this non-super wash yarn is a new type of Merino. SRS (Soft Rolling Skin) merino are bred to be non-wrinkled and plain bodied, making them naturally resistant to fly-strike and thus removing the need for mulesing in these flocks, resulting in better welfare. This trait also means that the shearer can clip closer to the body, and less frequently, resulting in longer fibres and over generations is projected to result in finer fibres.

The SRS Merino here is gorgeously soft, still has a faint scent of sheep, and is a lofty, bouncy 8ply construction with 210m per 100g. Being non-super wash, this yarn is perfect for fair isle projects large and small.
