Nurturing Fibres SuperTwist Merino - Sock Weight

Nurturing Fibres SuperTwist Merino – Soft, Springy & Full of Character

Nurturing Fibres SuperTwist Merino is a beautifully soft fingering-weight yarn that combines the comfort of fine South African merino with a high-twist construction that adds bounce, resilience, and exceptional stitch definition.

Originally developed as a sock yarn, SuperTwist Merino is wonderfully versatile and equally at home in shawls, lightweight garments, accessories, and everyday knits. The extra twist creates fabric with excellent memory and durability, while allowing textured stitches, lace, and colourwork to shine.

Hand-dyed in South Africa in Nurturing Fibres' signature palette of rich, nature-inspired colours, each skein is carefully crafted to bring depth, vibrancy, and character to every project.

Working with Hand-Dyed Yarn

As with all hand-dyed yarns, subtle variations between skeins are part of their beauty. For larger projects, we recommend purchasing sufficient yarn from the same dye lot and alternating skeins every few rows to ensure a beautifully blended finish.

Soft, springy, and a pleasure to work with, SuperTwist Merino is the kind of yarn that quickly becomes a favourite — whether you're casting on a well-loved pair of socks or creating a garment you'll reach for season after season.
