For a popular and super soft black combination, try working together DROPS Baby Merino 21, black and DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk 16, black.
The result has a knitting tension of about 15 stitches = 10 cm using 6mm needles, which is a great fit for our Yarn Group D patterns.
Remember however that knitting tension varies from person to person and that the suggested needle size is only a guide. You can adjust the needle size to get a different tension - or match the tension recommended in the pattern you are working with. Just make a swatch!
