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 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. 

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 take extra care and follow the instructions detailed under "More info".
