Easy Care Outlet

Mayflower Easy Care consists of 100% pure new merino wool from South America. The yarn is spun for Mayflower in Italy into a good and strong three-ply wool yarn of very good quality.

In general, wool is one of the most popular fibers in yarn for hand knitting and crocheting, which is due to the excellent properties of wool fibers. Wool yarn like Easy Care has a naturally insulating effect due to the air pockets in the wool fibers. At the same time, wool also has good breathability, as it is an organic material. Wool yarn is especially suitable for the winter season, but because Easy Care is a relatively thin yarn, it is, for example, not too warm for a light summer sweater.

Easy Care is available in a wide range of different colors, and the color spectrum includes everything from gentle natural colors and delicate pastels to the stronger vibrant colors. The yarn can be used for much more than sweaters, hats, and scarves. Lovely cushions and blankets are also very popular to knit in a wool quality that can withstand machine washing.

Easy Care becomes beautiful and even when you, for example, knit fair-isle patterns or texture patterns with multiple colors. Easy Care is a good yarn for needle size 3, but it is also very suitable for knitting or crocheting with a companion thread. Use it, for example, together with our Mayflower Super Kid Silk, which consists of the softest mohair and silk. The combination will add extra shine and luxury to your finished project.

The Easy Care series has been part of Mayflower's range for many years and is one of our very popular yarns, which is also reflected in our many Patterns developed for Easy Care. The soft merino wool can be used for both adults, children, and baby knitting. The wool is superwash-treated and can withstand both machine washing and tumble drying, which is especially useful for families who don't have much time to hand wash a knitted sweater. Just always remember to use wool detergent.

You can find Easy Care in three different thicknesses, of which Easy Care is the thinnest. All the yarns are spun from the same good wool, which is also mulesing-free merino, and only the thickness of the yarn makes the difference. Thus, you have great opportunities to use Easy Care in lots of different knitting and crochet patterns with great variation in gauge.
