Made from 100% extra fine merino wool fibres, DROPS Merino Extra Fine is a warm and super soft yarn, that's gentle on the skin, and therefore great for baby and children garments.
Spun from fibres from free-range, mulesing-free animals from South America, DROPS Merino Extra Fine is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. Garments made in this yarn are very comfortable and have a great surface quality. Spun from multiple thin strands, DROPS Merino Extra Fine gives beautiful, even stitches, resulting in garments with extra elasticity. It is this special construction that makes it important to use the correct tension in your project, so use rather a tight tension than a loose one.
Ideal for textured patterns such as cables and seed stitch, this yarn is superwash treated, which means it's machine washable and suitable for everyday use; but when washing your garments you must take extra care.
