16,75 €
Luxuriously soft merino wool in fingering weight, perfect for intricate lace patterns and detailed knitting projects.
Why Choose Merino?
This fine merino fingering yarn pairs softness with real toughness, which is why knitters who want quality in every stitch keep coming back to it. With 400 meters in each 100-gram skein, the fingering weight strikes a happy balance between fine detail and getting a project finished in good time. The wool is drawn from carefully chosen merino sheep and processed to keep the fiber's natural give and breathability intact.
Merino has a wonderful knack for regulating temperature — warm when it's cold, cool when it's warm — so anything you knit from it feels comfortable the whole year through. Unlike ordinary wool, merino won't scratch, which makes finished pieces friendly to sensitive skin and a great pick for baby items or next-to-skin wear. The fiber's natural crimp gives crisp stitch definition, so every detail of a pattern stands out.
Key Features
Pure 100% Merino
Natural fiber from carefully chosen merino sheep, processed so the whole yarn keeps its stretch and breathability.
A Fingering Weight
At 400 meters in a 100-gram skein, it's nicely balanced — fine enough for detailed lace yet sensible for getting a project done.
Regulates Temperature
Warm through winter and cool in summer by nature. Garments stay comfortable all year without leaving you too hot or too cold.
Soft, Never Scratchy
Where coarse wools can irritate, merino sits easy on sensitive skin. Ideal for delicate projects and anything worn close to the body.
24 Color Choices
Offered in a curated palette running from timeless neutrals to refined jewel tones. Professional dyeing keeps the color deep and even right across every skein.
Crisp Stitch Definition
Its natural crimp brings lovely stitch clarity, while an even, balanced twist keeps knitting smooth and splitting to a minimum.
Great For These Makes
This yarn comes into its own wherever detail counts. It's a natural for delicate lace shawls, where every stitch reads clearly. The 400-meter length lets you finish sizeable garments without running out, and its softness makes it lovely for socks, baby items, and anything worn right against the skin.
Colorwork gains from the even tension and sharp stitch definition. Because the yarn resists splitting, stranded colorwork stays tidy and exact. Plenty of knitters in Eindhoven's crafting circle point to this yarn in particular for heirloom pieces they mean to keep for years.
A Note on This Yarn
How the color looks can shift a little from screen to screen and under different lighting. The truest read comes in natural daylight. If the yarn or shade is new to you, we'd suggest grabbing a single skein first. Yardage is approximate and may differ slightly from one skein to the next, simply because it's a natural fiber. Always read the yarn label for care guidance and the suggested needle size before you begin.
Looking After It
Wash finished garments by hand in cool water using a mild detergent made for wool. Steer clear of hot water and rough scrubbing — merino fibers are delicate and respond best to a soft touch. Once you've gently pressed out the excess water, lay the piece flat to dry. Skip hang-drying, since the weight can pull it out of shape.
Block your pieces as they dry to settle them into the right shape and drape. That step matters most for lace, where blocking opens up the pattern's full beauty. Cared for properly, garments knit from this yarn will give you years of comfortable wear. Merino even takes well to gentle washing and can be worn several times between washes, thanks to its natural resistance to odor.
