Why Choose DROPS Big Merino?

Exceptionally soft, voluminous, and elastic, our DROPS Big Merino is perfect for crafting intricate patterns such as cables. It's lovingly spun from the fibres of free-range, mulesing free animals from South America and has Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification.

With its unique, multi-strand spinning technique, the yarn allows for excellent elasticity. However, make sure to maintain the correct tension in your project. Aim for a tighter tension rather than a loose one to achieve the best result.

Despite its luxurious feel, this yarn is super resilient and suitable for everyday use. It's machine washable, but remember to follow the care instructions carefully.

Caring for Your Yarn

• Always follow the washing instructions on the yarn label or shade card.
• Wash with a gentle 40-degree cycle.
• Wash separately and use plenty of water.
• Use minimal wool detergent (without enzymes and optical brighteners).
• Never use fabric softener as this can cause the wool fibres to slide apart.
• Avoid soaking or leaving garments wet in the washing machine for extended periods of time.
• Never hang to dry. Instead, shape the garments on a flat surface.

Oeko-Tex® Certification

Quality and safety are our top priorities, so we're proud to announce that our yarn has an Oeko-Tex® certification (certificate number 25.3.0110), Standard 100, Class I. That means it's tested and verified to be free from harmful chemicals, and safe for human use, including for babies aged 0-3 years.
