*Degradability potential within 5 years under landfill conditions: your knitted garments are safe as long as you don't bury them :)

A superb base with a little eco-friendly bonus—always a good thing! The nylon used here is biodegradable in 5 years instead of 30 to 40 years for conventional nylon (under standard landfill conditions at waste treatment plants). This base is also different from our 4-ply "best of" range; it's a 3-ply, thinner, and higher twist. The stitch is more finely defined, and the fabric is less bulky but more robust. An ideal base for socks and lightweight sweaters. And it retains the same softness, thanks to the extra-fine 19.5-micron merino wool, similar to the MoelliFlex you love!
