DROPS Baby Merino is spun from extra fine merino wool (19.5 micron), sourced from freely roaming animals in South Africa and South America. This extremely soft yarn does not itch and is ideal for a baby's sensitive skin. It is also superwash treated, making knitwear suitable for daily use and machine washable.
The structure of DROPS Baby Merino yarn is special: multiple fine strands are spun together, resulting in a flexible yarn. The yarn becomes round and airy. Due to its structure, it is crucial that your knitting tension matches the pattern, otherwise the knit may stretch. The yarn is cable-spun, so stitches stand out clearly, producing a neat and even result.
