I've stocked enough of this yarn for an adult sized sweater.  It's lovely, semi solid Greys dyed on Licorice Twist.  Licorice Twist is a 100% merino yarn, one strand of which is superwash--making for a stripey effect when dyed.  Skeins are approx. 280 yds. and  4 oz.  I've used this yarn for sweaters for 2 of my children, and I find that it holds up very well while also being nice and soft.
