The Merino/Tencel is one of my favourite yarns to work with. It is lustrous and soft with a beautiful shine on it. I just wish there would be more brighter colours available and the existing colours wouldn't change that often.

The Merino/Tencel is one of my favourite yarns to work with. It is lustrous and soft with a beautiful shine on it. I just wish there would be more brighter colours available and the existing colours wouldn't change that often.
Lovely yarn. It is soft but strong. Would be great to use for a shawl.
I've used this yarn several times over the years. I've made scarves, lap blankets, and baby items. I love the feel and durability of this yarn. I live in hot San Antonio, Texas, and this is a light enough yarn that gives just the right amount of that wonderful merino feel, but the tencel keeps it cool enough to enjoy here. I have some pictures, but they are on another device. Can I come back later and post pictures?
I love the color and the soft texture of this yarn! I haven't been able to find a light weight yarn in this color. The color is so rich and vibrant and is actually very close to the website image. I bought 2 cones and used both at the same time to achieve the yarn weight I needed. It has just enough weight without being too stiff and bulky. Even before washing it's super soft and squishy. Will definitely purchase again in other colors.
A beautiful yarn, has a sheen except for the heather colors, relatively strong, a little heavy for lace weight but not fingering. Not a lot of stretch and bounce from the wool. I have knit several garments from this yarn as it is a bargain and I like to knit from a cone. I lie to hold it together with the alpaca silk, makes a great light but cozy fabric. Light pilling on some of the older garments but I wear them a lot. I wish it came in more colors.
The yarn purchased was faulty. I dressed my loom with 8 yards of two different colors of this yarn. One color, red wine heather has 65 broken warp ends! The time loss and waste of the yarn that didn’t break is hard to accept. Webs replaced the red wine heather but the project has been so disappointing.
Lovely soft yarn. So far I’ve only woven a sample for the project I’m going to use it for but it wove easily, made a good strong warp and the end product was just what I hoped for.
Soft merino blended with tencel for strength. I’m using it two strands tight for a knitting project.
I could not do my review right away because I had to work with it first. So far, the Merino Tencel has been wonderful to work with and easy to weave....a little bit of sticking on the shedd, but that's to be expected with wool content. I love the richness of the colors!
this is the 3rd cone of this yarn- I love it for weaving wraps. soft but strong and easy to weave
