Superwash treated extra fine merino wool

DROPS Baby Merino is a 100% extra fine merino wool yarn that's super soft, breathes well and is itch free - perfectly suited for delicate baby skin. Cable spun and constructed from multiple thin strands, DROPS Baby Merino gives neat, even stitches, resulting in garments with extra elasticity. It’s this special construction that makes it important to use the correct tension in your project, so use a tight tension rather than a loose one.

DROPS Baby Merino is spun from fibers from free-range, mulesing free animals from South America and is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. The yarn is also superwash treated and therefore machine washable and suitable for everyday use; but when washing your garments you must be extra careful and follow closely the care instructions.

Made in EU
This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate number 25.3.0110), Standard 100, Class I. This means that it has been tested and found completely free from harmful chemicals and that it is safe for human use. Class I is the highest level, and it means the yarn is suitable for baby articles (ages 0-3).
