Sirdar Snuggly Cashmere Merino DK is a premium, ultra-soft yarn blend designed for knitters and crocheters looking to add a touch of luxury to baby garments, accessories, and high-quality wearables. Combining the durability of acrylic with the warmth of merino wool and the decadent softness of cashmere, this yarn provides exceptional stitch definition; however, users should be aware that the 50g ball size requires careful planning for larger projects to ensure sufficient yardage.

The amount depends on the size and stitch pattern; always refer to the specific pattern's yardage requirement and add an extra ball to be safe.
This yarn is not intended for felting, as the acrylic content will prevent the fibers from locking together properly.
