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.

Customer reviews
Love this yarn for baby clothes.
I use this wool a lot for knitting baby items. However, I can only get good results with a tension of 30 stitches and 40 rows to 4 inches on 2.5 mm needles. This produces a nice soft, flexible fabric, that is even nicer after washing. If I knit to the tension on the label, it looks like a bit of old rag. Little Wool Shop was efficient in sending the wool.
