Soft enough for the most sensitive skin, reliable enough for the most treasured projects — Patons Baby Dreamtime Merino 4 Ply is a classic for good reason. Spun from 100% Australian Merino wool, this is a fine-weight yarn that knits up into fabric that is breathable, beautifully smooth, and gentle against a newborn's skin. Whether you're working on a first baby cardigan, a pair of tiny booties, or a delicate layette set, Dreamtime Merino 4 Ply gives you the stitch definition and drape to make every stitch count.
At 169 metres per 50 g ball, it's a practical choice for both small accessories and larger garments. The even twist and fine finish produce a fabric with a subtle sheen and excellent stitch clarity — ideal for textured patterns, simple stocking stitch, and anything in between. It's the kind of yarn that makes handknitted baby gifts look genuinely special.
