MERINO BLEND KNOWLEDGE

Biella Yarn By S Dwolle

For our Merino wool blends, we have chosen Biella Yarn by Südwolle as our yarn supplier.

Our Merino Blends

Südwolle has specialized in spinning, dyeing and blending wool with other fibres, and their yarns have the latest eco certifications including Bluesign and Oeko-Tex standards.

In our Nimbus merino blend program, the yarn is made of 50% Biella yarn and 50% anti-pilling acrylic which ensures that the knit keeps its fit. The fine merino blend gives the knit a soft, light and luxurious touch. Furthermore, the yarn is top-dyed, which means that the fibres are dyed before spinning the yarncompared to yarn-dyed, where the yarn is dyed after spinning. This gives the yarn a super soft touch.
