Pure Virgin Wool - WOOLADDICTS MEMORY Luxury Yarn

MEMORY, merino yarn for meaningful making

A handmade piece can hold far more than stitches. It can recall time spent knitting or crocheting with friends, shared advice and quiet evenings devoted to a favourite pattern. MEMORY by Lang Yarns is designed for those creative moments. Made mainly from virgin wool in Merino superfine quality, this substantial yarn is suited to warm autumn and winter projects. Its length of 100 metres per 50 grams and recommended 6 to 7 mm needles allow the fabric to grow at a satisfying, clearly visible pace.

The soft touch of Merino superfine

MEMORY combines 88% virgin wool (Merino superfine) with 12% nylon. The fine merino fibre gives the yarn a soft, comforting handle suitable for cosy garments and accessories. If you are planning a jumper, scarf or cowl that will sit directly against sensitive skin, make a swatch first. Wash it according to the care instructions, then hold it against your neck for a few moments. This practical test lets you assess your personal comfort before committing time and yarn to a larger project.

Generous stitches with visible texture

Worked on 6 to 7 mm needles, MEMORY produces a bold, easy-to-read fabric. The stated tension is 16 stitches and 22 rows over 10 cm. This weight works well for warm jumpers, cardigans, hats, scarves, cowls and other accessories for the colder months. Stocking stitch, ribbing, combinations of knit and purl stitches and textured motifs can all benefit from the yarn’s substantial appearance. Always compare your washed swatch with the tension required by the pattern, as individual knitting styles may produce different measurements.

An anti-felting finish for added stability

The wool fibres in MEMORY have an anti-felting finish. This treatment helps keep the fibres neatly in place and gives the yarn additional stability. It is a useful feature when choosing yarn for a carefully made piece that you expect to wear regularly. The finish does not remove the need for attentive care, and it should not be treated as permission to wash the wool without precautions. Nylon completes the composition, creating a documented blend that combines Merino superfine with a stabilising fibre and finish.

Made for knitting and crochet

MEMORY can be enjoyed by both knitters and crocheters. For knitting, the recommended 6 to 7 mm needles create a rhythmic project with visible progress. No specific crochet hook size is provided, so crocheters should make a sample in the chosen stitch pattern and select a hook according to the desired drape and firmness. For garments, a properly prepared swatch is especially important: it helps you check the fabric, understand the scale of textured stitches and match the finished measurements of the pattern.

Caring for the finished piece

Use detergent intended for fine wash and do not add fabric softener. Apply the same care method to your swatch before measuring it. This gives you a more useful indication of how the finished fabric will behave and helps you make any necessary needle adjustment before casting on. Although MEMORY has an anti-felting finish, thoughtful wool care remains essential. Following the stated instruction helps preserve the appearance of the stitches and the qualities of the fibre over time.

Choosing a well-considered yarn gives proper value to every hour spent making. With its high Merino superfine content, generous tension and stabilising anti-felting finish, MEMORY offers a strong foundation for an autumn or winter piece you can be proud to complete. Select a project, prepare your washed swatch and let the stitches become part of a new memory, whether you are making quietly at home or alongside other knitters and crocheters.
