How the yarn behaves

DROPS Big Merino is a superwash-treated yarn made from extra fine merino wool sourced from free-range, mulesing-free flocks. The yarn is spun from multiple thin strands for plumpness and bounce, giving very soft, elastic fabric with excellent stitch definition for structured patterns like cables, ribbing and texture. It is well suited to cosy sweaters, cardigans, hats, mittens, scarves and chunkier baby and children's wear, and it crochets cleanly too. Oeko-Tex certified for skin contact. Care: machine wash on a gentle wool cycle without fabric softener and dry flat to preserve shape; avoid heavy agitation to prevent felting at the edges and around seams.
