Drops Baby Merino - All Colours

Drops Baby Merino is spun from 100% merino wool fibres (19.5 micron) from free-range animals in South Africa and South America. A super soft and itch-free wool yarn, it is perfectly suited for delicate baby skin. The yarn is also superwash treated which makes it machine washable and ideal for daily use.

Drops Baby Merino is made by spinning multiple thin strands, and this special construction gives it extra elasticity. It also means that is very important to use the correct tension, to avoid the garments stretching. Drops Baby Merino yarn is cable spun, which means the stitches are clearly defined, and the result achieved is neat and even. Made in the EU. This yarn has Oeko-Tex® certification.

The Drops Baby Merino range comprises over 30 different colours, and as one of the largest stockists of Drops yarn in the UK, we stock every single colour and shade of Baby Merino yarn that Drops produce. The chances are that if there's a shade of Drops Baby Merino that we don't have, it is because Drops have stopped making it! Supplied in 50g balls, Drops Baby Merino knits to a gauge of 24 stitches over 32 rows on 2.5-3.5mm needles, and there are approximately 175m / 191yds in every 50g ball.

Drops offer thousands of free patterns, covering their entire range of yarns, all of which are available to download and print out for free from the Garnstudio website - Garnstudio are the manufacturers of Drops yarn. We also stock the range of Drops Magazines, which contain between 20 and 50 patterns in each, and are priced at just £1 per magazine. Most people find that buying the magazines is cheaper than the ink and paper needed to print them out from the Drops website!
