DROPS Baby Merino is a super soft, extra-fine 100% merino wool that breathes and doesn't scratch, making it particularly suitable for babies' delicate skin. Spun from numerous fine strands in a special way (cable spun), DROPS Baby Merino produces well-defined, even stitches and very stretchy pieces. Its special texture makes it very important to get the knitting tension right for your project, so use a tighter rather than a looser one.
DROPS Baby Merino yarn is spun from free-range, mulesed-free animals in South America and is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified.
The yarn also has a superwash treatment, making it machine washable and ideal for everyday use. However, when washing your garments, you must take special care and follow the washing instructions.
This yarn is Oeko-Tex® certified (certificate number 25.3.0110), Standard 100, Class I by INNOVATEXT TEXTILE ENGINEERING AND TESTING, HUNGARY. This means it has been tested and is completely free of hazardous substances and is considered safe for both humans and the environment. Class I is the highest level of certification and means the yarn is suitable for baby items (ages 0-3 years).
