Mayflower 1 Class
Mayflower 1 Class is a classic sock yarn of premium quality, produced in Italy at a mill specialised in sock yarns. The yarn is spun from long‑staple South American wool combined with polyamide, which provides the perfect balance of warmth, elasticity and durability. The wool is mulesing‑free and superwash treated, making the yarn easy to care for.
Usage
The yarn is ideal for hand‑knitted socks but also works excellently for garments such as jumpers, cardigans, sweaters and children’s wear. Thanks to the soft surface and high durability, it can be used for everything from everyday knitting to projects that require longevity.

- Long‑staple quality: Spun from extra long wool fibres for better durability and even texture
Tips for use
Use Mayflower 1 Class for hard‑wearing socks or light, durable sweaters. It is also great for pattern knitting and colour changes, as the yarn has a smooth, consistent appearance. The elasticity of the yarn produces a lovely stitch definition on small needles.

Reviews
Beautiful yarn. I have just got the sock bug and am knitting them like mad. This yarn is perfect, it is nice and soft, knits easily and gives good stitch definition and a nice amount of stretch to the finished article. Lovely selection of colours too. I will be ordering more as soon as I finish my current batch.
