This natural white wool has been treated to prevent it from shrinking or felting. Can be Machine Washed gentle cycle after spun into yarn.

Superwash AKA Mercerized wool is wool treated with a chemical process to enhance its properties, making it smoother, stronger, and easier to wash. The process involves removing the natural scales from the wool fibers and may include adding a thin polymer coating.  This results in a yarn that is less itchy, machine washable, and a smooth sheen.  

If hand dyeing handle unspun wool top gently. Once wet tends to separate easily. Hint: Lingerie mesh bags are very helpful.

Weights measured are approximate. I use a electronic digital scale that weighs to one tenth of one ounce. Due to humidity or the limits of my scale the weight could vary more or less.
