A staff favourite — and once you knit with it, you'll understand why. Crucci Luxury Merino Crepe 8 Ply is one of the softest merino yarns you'll find anywhere, with a distinctive crepe twist construction that elevates it well above an ordinary DK wool. This is a yarn that knitters come back to again and again.
The crepe construction is what sets this yarn apart. By twisting the plies in opposing directions, crepe yarns achieve a rounder, firmer structure than standard spun yarns — giving the finished fabric exceptional stitch definition, a subtle natural sheen, and a resilience that resists pilling and holds its shape beautifully over time. Cables pop, stocking stitch looks polished, and even simple patterns take on a quiet elegance.
As a 100% merino, it delivers everything you'd expect from a premium wool — extraordinary softness that's gentle against the skin, natural breathability and temperature regulation, and the elasticity that makes it a pleasure to knit with and wear. At standard 8 ply DK weight on 4mm needles, it's compatible with a huge range of patterns and suitable for knitters of all levels.
