Garnstudio Drops Design - Baby Merino

DROPS Baby Merino is spun from 100% merino wool fibers from free-range animals in South Africa and South America. A super soft and itch-free wool yarn, it is perfectly suited for delicate baby skin. The yarn is also superwash treated which makes it machine washable and ideal for daily use.

We love it for baby knits, toys and everyday items. Check out our store sample in this yarn, Wee Envelope by Ysolda Teague. Cathy also made these adorable rabbits with a combination of yarns that included Drops Baby Merino.

DROPS Baby Merino is spun from multiple thin strands, which gives the yarn extra elasticity. Is this special construction that makes it extra important to treat the garment right: make sure that you knit with the correct tension and rather use a tight tension than loose.

The yarn is cable spun, which means the stitches will be clearly defined, and the result achieved will be neat and even.
