DROPS Baby merino is spun from extra fine merino wool fibers from free-range animals in South America. It is a super soft and Itch free wool yarn perfectly suited for delicate baby skin. The yarn is also superwash treated which makes it machine washable and ideal for daily use. Because DROPS baby merino is spun from multiple thin strands, which gives it extra elasticity, it's important you knit with the correct tension, using a tighter tension rather than loose.  Content: 100% merino wool Weight: 50g Length: 175m Needle size: 3.5mm Knitting tension:  10 x10 cm = 23 sts x 30 rows Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40C.
