DROPS Merino Extra Fine is spun in a special way (cable spun) and is made from 100% merino yarn fibers from animals that graze freely in South Africa and South America.
Garments made with this yarn are very comfortable and have an excellent texture. This yarn is very soft against the skin and is therefore ideal for baby and children's clothing.
It gives very good results for textured patterns such as cables (eights) and rice stitch.
This yarn has a superwash treatment, meaning it's machine washable and suitable for everyday use. It's available in solid colors and blended colors (in the latter, the yarn is manufactured by carding the colors together before spinning, giving the shade a blended effect).
It's spun from multiple thin strands, making the yarn even more flexible and elastic. When knitting, it's important to ensure you knit with the correct tension; it's usually best to use a tight tension, rather than leaving the stitches too loose.
Do not wash the garment in very hot water and never soak it. Dry the garment flat.
Made in the EU. 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 found to be free of harmful substances and is considered safe from a human-ecological point of view. Class I is the highest level, meaning the yarn is suitable for baby items (ages 0-3 years).
