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 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.
