This yarn is a sport weight merino boucle with a shiny nylon binder, known for its light weight feel and generous yardage. Hanks come 1440 yards/ 400 grams (about 14 oz). There is enough in one hank for a coat or even an afghan! The yarn is versatile but is most often used for cardigans and pullovers as it looks heavy but is light enough to be worn in an office environment.
