DROPS Big Merino is the sequel to DROPS Merino Extra Fine, spun from 100% merino wool fibers (19,5 micron) from free-range animals in South Africa and South America.

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.

The special construction of DROPS Big Merino, made of spinning multiple thin strands gives it extra elasticity, also meaning that it is very important to use the correct tension, to avoid the garments stretching.

Made in EU. This yarn has Oeko-Tex® certification.
