Soft Touch Ultra is our very popular, 3-ply fingering weight yarn. Spun from very fine Merino fibre, it is a nice combination of soft and smooth, but also strong so it wears well and resists pilling. The superwash fibre makes it practical for socks and other garments that you wear regularly.

Shown here are the standard handpainted colours. Please stash Shelridge Ultra Solids with the other solids. Ultra Solid is available in more than 50 near-solid shades, making it ideal for fair isle and other colourwork.
