DROPS Merino Extra Fine – Machine-Washable Merino for Everyday Knits
DROPS Merino Extra Fine is the yarn for garments that actually get worn: jumpers, cardigans, baby clothes and children's knits that go straight into the washing machine. Extra fine merino wool is soft enough for direct skin contact without the prickle of coarser wool, and the superwash treatment means no hand-washing rituals afterwards. At a classic DK gauge on 4 mm needles it fits thousands of free DROPS patterns.
Why choose DROPS Merino Extra Fine?
- Machine Washable: Superwash-treated merino survives a gentle 40°C cycle without felting — ideal for baby and children's garments that are washed often.
- Soft Next to Skin: Extra fine merino fibres are gentle enough for neckbands, hats and baby clothes.
- Smooth Stitch Definition: The tightly spun, even strand shows off cables, textures and colourwork with crisp, tidy stitches.
