Description

WHAT’S HER STORY?

DROPS Big Merino is the sequel to DROPS Merino Extra Fine, spun from extra fine merino wool fibers from free-range animals in South America.

DROPS Big 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.

Made in EU

FAMOUS FOR…

The main characteristics of DROPS Big Merino are the softness, volume, elasticity and even result, which makes it ideal for knitting structured patterns such as cables. The yarn is also superwash treated and therefore machine washable and suitable for everyday use.

This yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate number 25.3.0110), Standard 100, Class I. This means that it has been tested and found completely free from harmful chemicals and that it is safe for human use. Class I is the highest level, and it means the yarn is suitable for baby articles (ages 0-3).

Really nice to knit up

So far, so good. The yarn is soft, yet robust and east to knit up. Very pleased.

Beautifully soft wool for a jumper

I made a jumper out of this and it crochets up so soft and thick -- a really warm jumper.

Thick and beautiful

Loved this wool, it’s beautiful to work with and there’s a wealth of colours to match together. Made a lovely wooly hat.

Great crocheting yarn

I use this wool to crochet into warm beanie hats for the family. They’re thick and warm and I love them. The anthracite was a great neutral colour, with a small twist in the grey strands going through the yarn.
