i think it is soft but i don't know compared to merino. i got some from knitpicks to make this...
The merino style at knit picks is a lot softer than WOTA.

Ya know I think WOTA is soft (some folks have said it is even scratchy :shock:) but its not as soft as marino. If you're going to felt get WOTA but if you want something close to the skin get marino
