MERINO 120

ball band: "DK" · superwash

100% wool

DK

Our standard merino yarns are spun from the finest Australian merino wool - mulesing-free, of course. Around 40% of the world's wool comes from merino sheep. Their fibres have a particularly fine crimp, resulting in a yarn that is elastic yet holds its shape beautifully. The natural benefits of sheep's wool, such as temperature regulation, moisture management and odour resistance, are especially pronounced in merino. Our merino yarns are perfect for timeless, high-quality classics you'll enjoy for years to come, as well as for soft, skin-friendly baby and children's clothing that stands up beautifully to frequent washing and wearing.
