DROPS Baby Merino is a super soft, breathable and scratch-free wool yarn made from 100% extrafine merino wool - perfect for delicate baby skin. Spun from many thin threads using the cable technique, DROPS Baby Merino results in clearly drawn, even stitches. Garments made from it are particularly elastic. Because of this special structure, it is important to stick to the gauge exactly - if in doubt, choose a slightly tighter gauge rather than a looser one.

DROPS Baby Merino is spun from the wool of free-range, mulesing-free animals from South America and is certified according to the Oeko-Tex 100 standard.
Thanks to the superwash treatment, the yarn is machine washable and therefore suitable for everyday use - but be sure to follow the care instructions for the yarn and wash your garments accordingly so that you can enjoy them for a long time.

This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certification number 25.3.0110), Standard 100, Class I, from INNOVATEXT TEXTILE ENGINEERING AND TESTING, HUNGARY. This means that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances and is harmless to people and the environment. Class I is the highest level and this means that the yarn is suitable for baby items (ages 0-3 years).
